Help Make Sense of 17th Century Latin Scribblings

[Electronic God-Man]

These parish records from Widdern, Germany were sent to me. I can't read the Latin. Help!

I'm pretty sure that he's pointing to the entries that are relevant to me. Let me know if you can read any of it and I'll figure out what is relevant on the pages where he's not pointing.

Fuck, dude...

Infantes = Children
Parentes = Parents
Patrini = Godfathers

EDIT: Oh, you mean the dates the finger points at?

I know. All I can make out are the words parentes (parents), infantes (infant), patrini (sponsors/patrons) and sometimes uxor (wife) appears in there.

The surnames that are supposedly in there are Hunzinger, Schweitzer, Dietscher, Eichelsheimer, Götzinger, and Leysen. "Frankch" too, which just looks odd.

These pictures were taken by some older researcher who has since passed away, but before he did he gave them and some of the names to another person who has no idea what it really says in there.

Yeah, the dates and whatever else is written next to them.

[Comte Arnau]

Ok, what I see:

1st finger = 14? of August
2nd finger = 10 of December
3rd finger = 5 of September

The date with the finger seems to start with a 'd.', which from context and logic could be 'ditto'....? Look at the top of the page for the year.

[Comte Arnau]

D is just for day, IMO.

Of the three pages which have the guy seemingly pointing to things...

1. Anno 1669
2. Anno 1691
3. Anno 1690


Can anyone make out the names, etc. in the Parentes and Patrini columns?

They wouldn't be using English in a church in Germany.

D could stand for datum though, or ditto. In either case, it is not of much importance. It's repeated for every date.
