Could someone help me out and translate this record from the Russian partition of Poland?

Hello @LCK53!

Here are some of the important details in the record:

Place of registration: Wizna

Date of registration: 15/27 March 1898 (two dates because both Julian and Gregorian were recorded - read more about it here: https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/Julian_and_Gregorian_Calendars) at 8 am.

Father: Jozef Korzep, laborer, age 40, resident of Wizna

Mother: Emilia Bujnowska (feminine version of Bujnowski), age 38

Child: Jan, born yesterday (so would be 14/26 March 1898) at nine in the evening. He was baptized the 15/27 March.

There are also names of witnesses and godparents. Would you like those as well?

That would be great if you could. Many thanks

Here are the witnesses that went with the father to testify the birth of the child: Jakob Piotrkowski, age 47 and Mateusz Trepanowski, age 36 both church servants in Wizna.

The godparents were Leopold Ostrowski and Julianna Ostrowska.
