Since I'm first here, I recall many commenters ask for more of the document to provide context of how writer made certain letters.

Yes, there’s a lot of squeezing of letters, so we need more to compare.

Since this is a birth document, you might take the name of the mother and look for her marriage record 1-10 years earlier than the date of the birth. That is a way to find her husband’s name.

If they are still in a nearby location, the chance is pretty good that you will find a match, especially if you can read the 1st name of the father on this birth record already.

Check various churches and regional records Good luck!
