Help deciphering / translating GERMAN birth certificate
« on: Tuesday 05 December 17 14:37 GMT (UK) »
This is my great grand father's birth certificate. His name is Ernst Anton Dettling. He was born on June 13th of 1885 in Mühlbach, Eppingen. His parent's names apparently were Franz Dettling and Karoline Kitzinger. I'm having a hard time deciphering / translating due to the handwriting. I would appreciate if someone could give me a hand. I'm specially interested on the part that says "religion" and the time of his birth.
