This book records births that took place in and around the town of Făget from 1837 to 1877. The book appears to have been started in 1858, thus the earlier entries were recorded after the fact. In spite of this, the entries from 1837 on are remarkably complete and include all data: name and date of birth; gender; whether legitimate or not; names and residence of parents; name of midwife; date of circumcision or name-giving; name of circumciser; name(s) of witness or godparent. The very first page of the book includes notes on several births from 1830-1836 but the information recorded is not always clear. The book is printed in German; the entries are in German with the exception of addenda in Hungarian and Romanian.
