Thank you to Jan Reuther for the pages from the Easton history. I found an
ancestor, Jacob Rumfelt, listed among the members of the Saucon Lutheran Church in
Easton.

General question: Are the records of the Saucon Lutheran Church in Easton
available anywhere? I'd like to followup on Jacob Rumfelt. I'm also looking for
the records of Zionsville Lutheran Church, Upper Milford. Jacob Rumfeld is listed
as one of the first members according to A History of Lehigh County, John Hauser,
1902, pg. 108.

Thanks,
Dan Rumfelt
