I had a couple questions about this source on Ancestry that maybe you guys can help me understand:
1) The Ancestry transcription says Johann Georg Büttner and Anna Margaretha Stroebel were married in 1875, but this record from Archion said they married March 6 ,1864. I'm guessing the easy answer is the Ancestry transcription just has the marriage year wrong? (The year "1875" is written at the top of the page so I assume that's where it got it.)
2) If I'm reading it correctly, the second page of the Ancestry source says Johann and Anna had the following kids: Johann Paulus Büttner (born 1 Oct 1873), Johann Gottfried Büttner (born 13 Sep 1878), and Anna Büttner (born 23 Apr 1882). (There is another Johann Büttner written down with the same 13 Sep 1878 birthday, but I assume that's just a duplicate by mistake). It doesn't appear my 2GGM Barbara Büttner is listed among the children here, even though she was born in 1871. Should I be concerned about the fact that she's not listed?

As I wrote, it's helpful, but "sometimes cards are not correct" (maybe there is another Joh. Georg Büttner or a second marriage).
Therefore, you should always check the entries.
Nevertheless, the card index is helpful because you can usually find church book entries faster.
For example, there is a marriage entry and to the parents it says from AAA. He/she and the parents only lived there last, but the family moved in. So where was he/she born, where did the parents marry?
If you are lucky, you can find the birthplace or the marriage place of the parents or maybe the baptism of an older sibling on a card index and narrow down the search.

Here the birth record for
Anna Margaretha Stroebel, born November 24, 1839 in Trautskirchen, daughter of Johann Ströbel, house owner and linen weaver, ev. luth, and his wife Margaretha née Fischer
http://www.archion.de/p/6faab19cb6/
and the parent's marriage record (10 Feb 1839 in Trautskirchen)
Viewer - Archion
So, now I have a bit more time.
To 2) Definitely not all children are listed.
In the baptism entry under Barbara Büttner's name is written:
"4. ehel. - for fourth legitimate child".
In other entries on the page, it says 5. or 7. Kind (child)
I therefore assume that there was at least one illegitimate child before, so she had 4 or more older siblings.
The children with the same birthday are twins.
The two numbers, 37 and 38 are combined on the left with a bracket and marked "Zwillinge"
http://www.archion.de/p/6d42af8c49/
the first line is for the date of birth *
the second line is for the date of death +
the third and fourth lines are for the date/s of marriage/s oo - for the wedding rings - sometimes overlapping circles or the infinity sign, here.
The first marriage entry of Johann Gottfried looks a bit strange because the father of the bride is named - Berthold Kutt or Kuth?,
the first name of the wife is Mg - Margaretha

Thank you all for the amazing information and advice you've given me here! I've found several other sources and ancestors/relatives on the Ansbach Lutheran Parish Register Extracts and elsewhere thanks you guys getting me started, and I plan to look through Archion for more records here as well. I deeply, deeply appreciate it!
