Samuel Boettcher Family - Manuscript of Birth Records for Emigration

When Samuel Boettcher, his wife Anna Maria and their children emigrated from Romania in 1898, they brought with them a record of their children's births, as proof of Romanian citizenship.  Below are scans of this old document. 
It records the family as follows:

Extract from the Birth Register of the Baptist Parish of Catalui, Romania

The subject Samuel Boettcher and his wife Maria Boettcher (born Sperr) had the following children born and registered here in the parish birth register:
