Help needed with translation of German baptismal record

+4 votes
408 views

I believe I have found the baptismal record for Anna Ursula Hofer, the eldest daughter of my ancestors, Hans Henrich Hofer and his wife, Barbara.

However, the location Edenkoben is a good distance away from Battweiler, Bayern, which is where I know they resided even though they did change parishes often (Reischweiler, Waldmohr and Contwig).

If I am reading her baptismal entry (number 439) correctly though… it appears as though it does say the family is from Battweiler…?  

Would someone please be able to help with the translation of this record?  

Thank you!
