Comments

I agree, because the sister's Franksen-1 baptism record (here: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HY-DZN4-4ML?i=30&cc=1478678) also appears to be Franksen (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Franksen-1). 

Thanks for your detailed transcription!

Pleasure Anton! (Just goes to show how incorrect the transcriptions of FamilySearch at times can be).

Answer 2

It is not Frankisch, but looks more like "Franksen", comparing it with other samples of handwriting on the page.
