This is a Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania family.George Kimmel and wife Elizabeth Runkel.They were members of the Zion "Red" Church near Orwigsburg.The names in the Bible are of all of their known children: Katherina, Maria, Magdalena, Johannes, Christina, Susannah, Sara, George and Lewis.I haven't seen them on a single document, though.I imagine the descendants would be very interested.
Most of the family stayed in Schuylkill County.I've read that Magdalena Kimmel who married Benjamin Klinger died in Allegan County, Michigan.
My understanding of old German script is poor, but each entry appears to list the birth date, parents, township and county of birth, and the pastor and sponsors involved in the baptism.
