"Die hier zunächst
folgenden Confirmationen, verrichtete vor meinem Amtsantritt
hier, Herr Pfarrer Mueller zu Garnavillo, und ich trug dieselben,
nach einem freilich mangelhaften Verzeichniße des damaligen
Schullehrers H(?) Biermann, hier, nach.
Guttenberg [ ] d. 14. Mai 1855
Ernst Serfling, Pastor
The following Confirmations were performed before my assumption
of office here by Pastor Mueller from Garnavillo. I have recorded
them according to an admittedly unsatisfactory register [or list]
of the former school teacher from here, Biermann.
Guttenberg, May 14, 1855
Ernst Serfling, Pastor

- notes: the records are written in German script
and are very difficult to read; every attempt has been made for
accuracy, but it remains the responsibility of the individual
researcher to confirm the record on their own.

translating the words of Pastor Serfling and helping with some of
the names
