Birth record name help

[Ashgarth]

Looking at the first birth in 1766 for Maria Elizabetha Opelt ,I cannot figure out the father's first name even though it is written clearly. I am also having trouble with the part about the mother--her maiden name and is that where she comes from?
Thank you very much!

[A kind suggestion: consider to provide your own transcription and ask for proof-reading here. Such approach significantly helps to improve one's deciphering skills.]

Thank you for the help. I am very much a novice, having only recently started working with German church records --and I do not speak German. I have been trying to figure out the old script as well, going to various websites for help. I will continue to persevere!

Google translate to the rescue!

You‘re always welcome.

If need be, don‘t hesitate to ask.

I'm in the US, but speak, read and write German, also able to read the old German script if it isn't hen-scratch! I'm only on this forum and have not subscribed to Archion because the records I need aren't available here yet. If I can be of help to you, I will certainly try. And vnagel certainly provided a lot of information that you were looking for. This kind of assistance is invaluable!
