Hello Kent,

Translation:

1749, on the 1st of November a little son of Martin Wenz, citizen and mason, from his wife Eva Catharina, née Krunemeÿerin, was born to the world, so thereafter was baptized and was named Martin. Baptismal sponnsors are Christoph Becker, citizen and "fidicen", with his wife Catharina. Thomas Nichtern, non-citizen resident with his wife Catharina.

Re: The Latin word "fidicen": Thode defines this as: minstrel. Other online sources define this as: lute player, lyre-player, harpist, minstrel.

Robert: You may remember Thomas Nichtern, non-citizen. He is someone I crave information on because we have so little. Thanks for adding this little piece. KG
