German translation assistance for baptism record
« on: Thursday 07 December 17 04:19 GMT (UK) »
This is the baptism record for Franz Florkowski, the brother of my great-great-great grandfather. The family was from Vandsburg in West Prussia (now Wiecbork in Poland). My German is rusty and my understanding of German script is even rustier. Can anyone help translate this record for me?

I believe the first column says "Tag (?) und Stande der Gebort" = day (?) and hour of birth. The only thing I can discern from what is written below is that Franz was born in October. I believe it says he was baptized October 12 -- but again, I'm not sure.

Many thanks for any help!
