I need some help reading old German script. My high school German just isn't up to the task yet - this is the first set of records I've had to read.

The record I'm trying to translate first is a baptismal register entry from the Diocese of Wurzburg.

I've posted my version of transcription and translation here as a PDF file - http://www.vandeventer.net/main/page_services_files.html

I've also posted my original tif scans so you can zoom in, if you wish.

I know the column headings are probably standard, but I just can't make them out on my copy. If someone could help me with those, I would greatly appreciate it. Help on the actual entry would be a bonus -- I think I have most of it except the last column and the religion(?) columns.

You are probably aware of this:

I will try later to help a little, right now i'm out of time.
(But it will only be a little - can't read much of it.)

Here is what I came up with:
The headings are, unfortunately, cut off at the top, so only the second line is
present. From left to right I read on upper left:
Kindes / des Geburtshelfers / Geschlechtsname (?) / Religion /
des Hauses / Geschlechtsname (?) / Religion

On lower left:
Heidenfeld / Michael Faulhaber / 3. Geb. [Geburt] M�rz / Michael Faulhaber /
B�cker Kath. / Kloster Heidenfeld H Nr 65 / Margaretha Schmitt /
Ehefr. Kath.
Below: Cardinal-Erzbischof v. M�nchen 12. VIII. 1924

On upper right:
des Hauses / Jahrs u. Stunde / ???? / Stellvertreter / Name, Aufenthaltsort /
Name, Aufenthaltsort

On lower right:
Kloster Heidenfeld H. N. 65 / 5. Maerz 1869 / 6. Maerz [Na?]chmittg.1869 /
Michael Schmitt v. ?ergtheim / Eintrag von Pfarrer Katenberger auf
Angabe des Vaters? u. auf Grund des ?????
1. 8. 1892 Priesterweihe

Good luck!
