The following seems to be a baptismal record in Latin. Mormon Church scans of the original handwritten
record were transcribed by Paul Doherty, and re-typed into this digital record by
Tom McFarland in 2003. In 2005, Prof. James McKeown, a Latin scholar at the University
of Wisconsin in Madison, was consulted for translation. It was decided that some letters were not
copied correctly, and/or the original author in Berus, Germany, did not know Latin very well. Thus, below are
[A] the original typed transcription,
[B] a Latin transcription in which several letters are changed by Prof. McKeown, and finally
[C] a tentative English translation in red.
