Transcribed from an old photostat of the family record of a generation of the Seifrit (Seifried, Seifriedt, Seefreed, Seyfreed, Seifreed) family of Berks County, Pennsylvania. All entries were written in German script and appear to have been by several hands. The first three entries appear to have been written at one time and by one hand. These are known to be the children of Jacob and Susanna Seifrit of Robeson Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania. The last known location of the original was with a descendant in Adamstown, PA.
