Haag, Kline & Co. Ledger Book, Bernville, Berks County Pennsylvania

Haag, Kline & Co. store ledger, Bernville, November 1867 to March 1877, over 1,000 names

12 photographs.

This great old ledger book is from Haag, Kline & Company in Bernville, Berks County, Pennsylvania. The ledger starts in November 1867 and ends in March 1877 and has over 1,000 names.

I had a look in the 1860 United States Federal Census and found a few of the folks that are listed in this ledger. I have scanned a few of the pages from the ledger and put them online. I have not had time to scan the entire book as it is quite large, but I will continue to put more of them online as time permits.

Now I know this Haag, Kline & Co. ledger is in my genealogy lookups section, but I regret to say that I can not do lookups in it as it has no index and is just too big. The names are not in alphabetical order, so if you are interested you will need to look at each page to find your ancestor. Some of the pages in the ledger are blank, so I have not included them.

The Haag, Kline & Co. ledger book is a one-of-a-kind genealogy resource for the area in and around Bernville, Berks County, Pennsylvania. This is not the only Haag, Kline & Co. ledger — take a peek at the other one if you are interested in Berks County, Pennsylvania genealogy.

The scanned pages are below, with a transcription of the cash-book entries they show (Nov. 1867–Jan. 1868). The rest of the ledger, running to March 1877, has not been scanned.

391 line items transcribed from the ledger's cash pages (images 3–12 in the gallery; images 1–2 are the cover and title page, not transcribed). Each line is Surname | Given name(s) | Date | Description | Amount, following the ledger's own Dr./Cr. columns for Nov. 1867–Jan. 1868. Old cursive and faded ink leave roughly 166 of these entries genuinely uncertain in a name, description, or amount; those are marked with “?” rather than guessed. Ditto marks in the original (repeating the prior row's description) are spelled out as “(ditto)”. The remaining ~1,000 names the contributor describes in the full ledger are on pages not yet scanned.
