The format of this register page is typical of all register pages in this baptism register, except that the page number of an even-numbered page is located in the upper left corner.
The title portion of each register page has titles for the 3 columns on the page:
- first column: Nomen Familiae (Family Name): It was the intent of the register book designer that the family name of the baptized person be entered in this column; however, in this particular parish register, the column was used for the purpose of entering sequential entry numbers.
- second column: Registrum Baptizatorum. (Register of Baptisms [Baptism Register]). This is the column in which the baptism entry was actually made.
- third column: Registrum Matrimoniorum. (Register of Marriages [Marriage Register]). This column was not filled out at time of baptism; it was intended as the place to enter the details about the date and place of the later marriage of the baptized person.
