T something on page 2 is probably "Taufen" or baptisms. You should see a fancy capital then chicken scratch with a little dot (that's an "a" in this so-called Sytterlin script), then two more chicken scratches, which are a "u", then something approaching a cursive "f" then lots of chicken scratches because e and n in Sytterlin look very similar. And "Heirath" is the old-fashioned spelling for "Heirat" or marriage.
