Incredible document from Speyerdorff in the Palatinate from 1741.
This is called a Patenbrief, which is a document created by the godparents noting the baptism and salvation of a child.
This form was made for Johann Nicolaus Meeß, born 24 Nov 1741, and son of Johann Jörg Meeß (of Lachen) and Anna Maria Dippel.
The godparent that made this seems to be the brother of Johann Jörg, Johann Nicolaus, whom the child was named after, both sons of Jacob Meeß of Speyerdorff.
It measures 16.5 by 13.75 inches. It is affixed to a paper backing.
The winner will get the transcription and translation and other tidbits about the document's verbiage.
