Translation (English)
[Partial draft:] Catharina Friederique, daughter of Andreas Jürgen Keyser and Engel Sanders, born 7 March and baptized 10 March 1738. First sponsor: Catharina Elisabeth Wesemann(s), wife of a Halves.
Notes
A sponsor, not a parent, and not a baptism of the miller or of a child in the 1732–1742 window. I first read the second half of the surname as uncertain (it could be Wedemanns); It is the first Wesemann spelling found in the Echte area in the window; her place in the family is unproven.
Grade: Confirmed as a Wesemann spelling (reader at the image); her place in the family unproven.
Conventions
