German Birth Records - Translated

After struggling to read the German birth records that I received this week (I was trying to decipher them with Sutterlin chart to help with the lettering), I posted a request for help in German translation on GenForum. A wonderful man emailed me and said he would translate them for me! He lived in Germany for 15 years and studied Germany history. So here are the translations of Elizabeth Linneman's birth record (Mem, my great-grandmother) and her brother Christian. Thank you Robert!!
