If anyone can continue to help me, I would appreciate again. This appears to be a birth record written in German (perhaps) for Johannes Lehmann (written on side as Leman). His parents should be Michel Lehmann & Catharina Schmitter. I could read Catharina Schmitter but can't read anything else. Uploaded at http://tinyurl.com/b6y6r8c Audrey (Lehmann-Shields) Hancock

The time looks to me to be "erst uhren", which I would take to mean "first watches", and not a definite time. But I'm neither a native German nor French speaker.

Audrey, the child was born "heutte ... um Elff uhren" = today at 11 (likely AM, though not mentionned). There is clearly a "l" after the E, then the double F (compare wonhafft = residing) In German "Uhr" = hour (but also "watch", which doesnt make any sense here) OK, "Uhren" instead of "uhr", but this record is really full of mistakes, e.g. "heutte" for "heute", "nitterkomen" for "niedergekommen", "Dagner" for "Tagner".... in this awkward German mixed up with Alsatian expressions. First witness was Antoni HALTER. Etienne German and Alsatian speaker
