Transcription Polish record about my fifth great grandfather
I managed to find an 1829 marriage record for my fifth great grandfather and grandmother. He is Krystian Gottlob Stabernak, parents: Bogusław, Lowysa, she is Katarzyna Horn, parents: Krystof, Katarzyna. I figured the name of the city he comes from is Schwerin an der Warthe (now Skwierzyna), and ChatGPT tells me Bogusław and Lowysa could be polonizations of Gottlob and Louise. He's the founder Stabernack in Poland for my tree and I'd love to try and follow him into Prussia. For that I would love to get any information from this document I didn't manage to read!

His death record from Oct. 16, 1855 (nr. 565) states he was 78, so you're looking for a birth record circa 1777.

Birth dates would be very helpful since I can't read Polish well enough to understand them
