Hello Fellow Listers: I just wanted to let you all know that The Perry Historians, a genealogical society located near New Bloomfield, Perry Co., PA. has recently published, printed and has for purchase a paperback book named: Geburts und Taufscheine: Illuminated Pennsylvania German Birth and Baptismal Certificates This is actually Volume 20-23 of The Perry Review. This is a publication that persons who were members of the Perry Historians during the years of 1995-1998 get as one of their membership privileges. Every year they try to have a volume of The Perry Review printed as a membership privilege for the members of that year. This volume happened to become more of an endeavor than what was thought and Harry Focht, the author continued to gather more and more taufschein information [actually 1445 translated taufscheins] and so, it took several years to actually finalize it. The taufscheins are from many counties in Pennsylvania, including Adams, Berks, Cumberland, Dauphin, Lancaster, Lebanon, Lehigh, Montgomery, Northampton, Perry, Schuylkill, Snyder, Union, York Counties. It is a wonderfully done book, containing 262 pages [index included] with both color - and - black and white photo copies of taufscheins. The cost is around $26.00 for members of The Perry Historians and around $30.00 for non-members [I don't have a pricelist in front of me at present]. If interested, you can contact The Perry Historians at their mailing address listed below - or - you can e-mail me personally at djzinn@pa.net The Perry Historians PO Box 73 Newport PA 17074 My apologies for advertising on the Rootsweb, but this is a wonderful additional resource for anyone doing genealogical research. Best Wishes.... Donna HELLER ZINN of Newville, Cumberland Co., PA. Volunteer / Director of The Perry Historians
