I need some help translating a couple of documents from 1800's France. The first one is this birth record for Philippe Kindelberger.

As a new user be sure to take the Tour to learn about our focussed Q&A format which is quite different from bulletin boards, discussion forums and other Q&A sites you may be used to. Before starting to translate your document, how far have you got with simply trying to transcribe it? I think asking the community to both transcribe and translate a whole document makes your question insufficiently focused. I think you should focus any similar questions on where you are stuck.

What I was able to transcribe:

Mairie d Thrie Derthiubau Arrondissement de Wissembourg Le trente Mai mil huit cent quarante-neuf, a six heure du foin Acte de naissance de Philippa Kindelberger ne a Niendenthinusbay Trenld Mai mil huit cent quarante-neuf a deux heure du sustin fil a de vereiniound age de ____ ans profession d ____ ne a ____ domicilie a _____ et de Elisabethe Kindelberger agee de ____ ans, domiciliee a ______ L'enfant qui nous a ete presente, a ete recounu etre du sexe masculin

Premier Temoin: George Neusiy age de soixante deux ans, profession de laboureur domicilie a Nieuerstisubay departement d aba Nyin

Le Maire, Wingerter

Which translates to something like (google translate):
