Grosseltern waren Michael Baum von Golheim und seine Frau Anna Eva und Johann Jacob Steinmetz Feld=scherer zu Imsbachmit seiner Frau Margaretha Elisabetha von welche das Kind den Nahmen Johann Michael bekommen
The Grandparents are the reason for my question. would this be the Grandparens of Wendel, his wife or the newly born son. I am used to seeing the sponsors or Godparents listed in this location.
Any comments appreciated. It is sending me into so many different directions searching.

Hallo !
Ich denke Michael Baum war von "Göllheim". Das liegt zwischen Kaiserslautern und Kirchheimbolanden rechts der heutigen Autobahn, falls eine Kirchenbuchsuche in Frage kommt.Eigentlich müssten die angegebenen Personen die "Paten" und nicht die Großeltern sein. Ich vermute, daß ein Übersetzungsfehler vorliegt.

as I understand the somewhat unusual baptism entry so that they were
the grandparents of the newborn child Johann Michael. Both grandfathers
were also godfathers.
