and baptismal "Records of the Corporatino of Zion in New Germantown in WEst
Jersey" were printed in the New York Genealogical & Biographical Record
April 1900 through October 1903.

These records were contributed by Ben. van D.(oren) Fisher and appear as he
interpreted the names. The Records list the year the child or person was
born and/or baptized and the names of the parents and witnesses."

Hope this helps
