A comprehensive index to the extant birth records for children born in Lebanon County before 1800. Each entry lists the family name, the name of the infant, the date of birth or baptism, the names of both parents and the source where the information was found. If the mother’s maiden surname is given in the church record that information is also included. The county was predominately German, as evidenced by the nineteen, Lutheran, Moravian and Reformed church registers used along with the records of John Casper Stoever. Combined, these registers list more than 7,500 recorded births.
