Translation (English)
23 May: Gerd Brand of Linse, a daughter. Sponsors the wife of Hans Rusen of Kreipke and [Anna] Catharina Grimmeyer, the child's [grand]mother, of Esper[de?]. Named Anna Catharina.
Notes
"Gross-" breaks at the line end; "Esper" is cut at the page edge. A grandmother of Esperde fits the bride of 1687, daughter of the late Hans Göman of Esper (F288); her surname Grimmeyer would mean a remarried widow or another woman: POSSIBLE. A second Anna Catharina a year after the first points to the first's death (POSSIBLE; no burial read). Grade: STATED (screen draft).
