Thank you Malu for your continued help in helping translate documents. I can make out most of them but I could not read her middle name on this one. Was it common back then for them not to put the actual birthdate and only include the baptism date?

but I could not read her middle name

Hello,

what do you mean by middle name?
Whose middle name?
There ist no mother mentioned in this entry. Which was not unusual in this area in the 17th century.
Kannegießer is the godmother. Her first name being - most likely - Anna Martha:


And the birth date was omitted in the beginnings, too.
In some areas this was common to the early 1800s.

Bw,
Malu

I was referring to the daughter that was born. I could make out the Anna but could not make out the Martha. Thanks again for all your help!

Hello,
a child baptized Anna Martha was most likely to be called Martha.
