This should be for my 3rd great-grandfather, Johann Jost Sulzmann, born in Nieder-Modau, Darmstadt. I would like to have all information including dates, place, parents names, etc. Thank you.

Hi Jelena, Thanks for responding. How can I attach a photo of the document so you can view it?
Hi Carlton. There should be a little toolbox icon to the right of the image on Ancestry. Click that, select share, then Twitter. A window will open to share on Twitter; just close that browser window without doing anything about Twitter. After that, a little box will pop up containing a link which you should copy, and paste here on G2G. That link will lead to a public version of the image which Jelena will be able to look at.
It did, I can see it now
ok, great. thanks.
Glad it worked, Carlton. The image looks like a real challenge, so good luck, Jelena!
Urgh, the scripture is ... .

"Am 16. Januar gebar Elisabetha, ... ... Joh. Peter Sulzmann ... Zwillinge. ... der ältere Johann Jost, der jüngere Johann ... ."

Well, as you see I couldn't decipher that much, but Johann Jost was the older one of a set of twins. Their parents were Johann Peter Sulzmann and Elisabetha.

Other Germans will have to jump in and decipher the rest of it.
Learning there were twins! Thanks so much for your kind help.
