Hi! I'd love help with a translation of a birth record for Spindel. Please translate all items in the index. I think it's Polish or German.
Thank you

Hello,
Here is all the relevant information.

The father and the midwife, who must have been illiterate, signed the document with an “O” symbol, which Jews often used instead of the customary “X” because that looked too much like a Christian cross. Because they could not sign their own names (and the shammes could only do so in Hebrew), someone else served as the “Namensfertiger,” the person who signed their names for them.

No. 24

Birth: the night of 21 March 1877, Zborów

Naming: 22 March 1877, Zborów

Child: Fradel SPINDEL

Sex: Female

Legitimacy: Illegitimate

Father: Pinchas SPINDEL, glazier in Zborów

Mother: Hinde Reisel SPINDEL, daughter of Eleasar PERLMUTTER (deceased) in Gliniany and Chana Malka[?] PERLMUTTER (still living) in Gliniany

Witness/Sandek/Shammes: [Hebrew signature] i.e. Herz ZIPORA, shammes; [the name] written by KRONISCH

Mohel: [n/a]

Midwife: Lea SCHAMES; [the name] written by KRONISCH

Notes: See death register for 1877, p. 15, entry 29 [presumably the death record of the child]. Pinchas SPINDEL, father; name written by witness Isaak WONSCH[?]. Mayer KRONISCH, registrar
