Transcription (German, as read)
Child: "Christina Magdalena". A small note under the name reads "+ [?] in Phila[delphia]" [doubtful, may be a later death note; see BA2.2c2a].
Parents: "Johann Wendel Rau, Bürger und Bauer in Enzweihingen" and "Fr[au] Friederika geb. Büchele, von hier". Place of birth: Enzweihingen.
Born: "13. Februar 1821" (the "13" is clear in the family register; in the baptism entry the digit reads "13"/"12" at crop size). Baptized "14. Februar 1821, Mittags 11 Uhr". Officiant: "Idem" (same clergyman as the row above; named by the earlier rows).
Godparents (Taufzeugen): "Jakob Friedrich [Munzer?], Bürger und Bauer in Enzweihingen, Witwer"; "Philipp Jakob [Gerber?], Bürger und Bader in Enzweihingen, Witwer"; "Sabina Catharina, [Jungfrau?], Johann Michael [Gaß?] Schmieds, Bürgers [?] ... [?] alhier".
Family-register column: "fol. 333" (the last digit is blurred; confirmed below because page 333 holds the Rau household).
