I can pick our names (John McFarland, Rebecca, Bartholomew), dates (January 31, 1833; December 15 1861, and names of Carbon County places (Lower Towamensing, Towamensing Church), but with my limited German, I cannot correctly interpret them. Anyone out there than can read them for me, or recommend a way to get them read? I have some fairly high quality scans of both that I could email. Unfortunately, one is torn in half but there doesn't seem to be many pieces missing. Thanks! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
