Robeson Township, Berks County, PA
Transcribed from an old photostat of a loose single page (6.5"x8") 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 the same hand and all but the last appear to have been written at one time. The last known location of the original was with a descendant in Adamstown, PA.
