Zion Red Church and Vicinity of Brunswick Twp

H. A. Weller' s records of the Zion Red Church, the first church "Over the Blue Mountains" in what is now West Brunswick Township, have been widely published and referenced. The records here presented are reinterpreted and supplemented by comparison to civil records, film of the records of Rev Daniel Schumacher held at the Easton Public Library, a translation by Arthur G Schuman, in possession of the Historical Society of Schuylkill County, and one attributed to Carolyn Berryman and Raymond Hollenbach in possession of the Genealogical Society of Berks County. Some Baptisms were not at the Church. Schumacher's original "Tag Book" is in the possession of the Lutheran Archives at Philadelphia.
