Hello 
I was hoping someone could help me to understand exactly what it says in this birth record. I have a rough idea of what it says, but since the mother is a bit of a mystery, I'd like to make sure I've understood it correctly. Most importantly I can't make out where it says Anna is from - and whether it even says so.
What I'm getting from the text is that Hans Andres Lorentzen is born outside of marriage to a woman named Anna Margaretha Lorentzen (from?) and maybe that she gave birth to the child in the house of Hans Andres Lorentzen? As the father she has named a Matthias Hansen Knap, son of the old Hans Knapp in Grundhof.
Godparents are Hans Andres Lorentzen in Freiwillen, Hans Detlef Friedricksen in ?? and Ingeburg Krogman, Nicolai Krogmann's wife in Freiwillen.
