These documents
were researched and located by Paul Henninger (gryhnd22@aol.com).
Paul then sent them to me and I (Linda S. Brennan, linda@stokesbury.org),
scanned and optimized them. These are jpgs files
which you can download and use in your family history. We’d
appreciate it if you’d give us (especially Paul) credit as
the source, if you do use them. The original documents are located
in Berks County, PA, Register of Wills/Clerk of the Orphans’ Court,
Berks County Services Center, 2nd Floor, Reading, PA.
NOTE: If
you download these files, would you be willing to transcribe one
or more of them? As they are
transcribed I can make them available to everyone in word
files so
they would be searchable. Also, If anyone could translate
the German documents, I’d like to be able to
make the translations available to everyone as well. Please
contact me (linda@stokesbury.org) so I can coordinate
the assigning of files for transcription, so no one is transcribing
a file someone
else is already working on. Thanks.
