1693, 22 May, Elisabeth, father Hannß Schütze

First baptismal witness is Anna, Hannß Schützens eheweib

Could Anna be her mother? This would be the first time I have seen a parent as a baptismal witness.

Thanks,

Tina

No. She's the wife of an older Hannß Schütze !

Caution please.... these tiny little words.....

Father: Hanß Schütze Jun. [junior]

Godmother: Anna, Hanß Schützens eheweib >> this is most likely the wife of Hanß Schütze, senior

Other than that it's not completely unusual that child's parents are also it's godparents. You see it "quite" often in case of an emergency baptism.
