Johann Peter Klinger was born 3 November 1773 in Reading, Pennsylvania. His parents were Johann Philip Klinger (1723-1811) and Eva Elisabeth Beilstein (1730-ca. 1815). He married Catharina Steinbruch, daughter of Adam Steinbrecher and Anna Margaretha Hoffman, in about 1791 in Lykens Township, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. They had eleven children. Ancestors, descendants and relatives lived mainly in Germany, Pennsylvania and Indiana.
This book details over ten thousand descendants of Johann Peter Klinger and Catharina Steinbruch - most of them from the Pennsylvania Dutch region - including most of the prominent families of the historic Mahantango Valley. The origins of Klinger's Church and Klingerstown are discussed as well as numerous photos of historic homes and gravesites. This book is a "must have" for anyone interested in Mahantango/Lykens Valley history or genealogy.
