Good morning Kent,

Translation:

On the 22nd of March [1678], a young daughter of Hanß Jörg Eytel, citizen and innkeeper at the sign of the swan here, from his wife Anna Catharina was born, who afterwards on the 23rd of the same month was baptized and named Anna Margreth. Baptismal sponsors were (1) Hanß Matthis Zeißlof, citizen and linen weaver here, and Anna his wife. (2) Martin Mos, the tax/customs official, [and] Anna his wife.

Robert Seal_1 Very interesting. Martin Mos or Moss was friendly with Hanß Jörg Eytel. The more I learn the smaller the group of people who sponsored each other and were obviously friends. Thanks for bring light on the past! KG
