Treasure Chest Thursday - Post 266: 1781 Birth and Baptism Record of Daniel Spangler (1781-1851)

It's Treasure Chest Thursday - time to look in my digital image files to see what treasures I can find for my family history and genealogy musings.

The treasure today is the  1781 baptism record of Daniel Spangler in Your, York County, Pennsylvania:

Since this record is in German, I will guess that it says:

Daniel Spengler was born 9 October 1781, baptized 20 October 1781, son of Rudi Spengler and wife, sponsored by Balthasar Spengler and wife.  

I was helped by the extracted records in the York Trinity Reformed Church records:
