help with translation or reading

Legg inn av MisNomer » 10 feb 2005 05:33:11

I have posted a scan of a baptism record for my grandfather here.

http://members.shaw.ca/misnomer/picsonly/baptism.jpg

its readable mostly except the word after "Joannes Kaufmann" on the third line.
I am thinking that Joannes was the godparent by proxy. Does it infact say this
on this document?

Family oral history says that Joannes is a cousin but it appears that none of
Jacobs (the fathers) brothers had a kid by the name of Joannes that came to
america, unless it's a cousin once removed, but still there doesn't appear to be
any Joannes that came to america.


take care

This person name is Joannes (John) Josephus Kaufmann and his father's name
is Jacobus Kaufmann.
