Long story short - while cleaning out my in-laws house we came across an old family bible with a lot of notes in it. By the dates, it looks like mid to late 1800's, but it is all in german.

Here's an example of one of the pages.

Anyone here translate???

I can email the photos to anyone that wants to take a crack at it.

Check with the local college and see if they've got a teacher that might help.;)
 
That top line in the curve says "Suffer the little children to me to come", Matthew 19:14. And Geburten means Birth. Obviously it is a church document about births in the church. I see various dates. You can type this into the web if you can read it and use a german - english translator on google.
