Also, very interesting, since I inherit from my mother's French/German side the Catholic faith and Scotch Baptist/Presbyterian from her Scotch/English side. From my father's side I have the German Evangelical Lutheran (who with other family started a congregation in Darke Co., OH), the Irish Orange Protestant and Methodist connections. My religious and cultural background is many sided, as it is for many of us of diverse background here in the USA.

Which one of us? Not overlooking, just referring to the Catholic history. I have the Lutheran side, too. I am a native (and Lutheran) of northern Ohio. My own Lutheran family members were charter members of St. John's, Bellevue. They had been served by the pastor of St. John's, Fremont, prior to that. In northern Ohio, Lutheran families were served by clergy for southern and central Ohio and Pennsylvania who would take a month or leave from their own parishes. But services were held in homes. Sometimes Lutherans and Reformed folks met together. Generally speaking, the actual congregations were established in the early 1840's. My own Lutheran family members were charter members of St. John's, Bellevue. One - Philip Bingel, husband of Catherine Jacob, of Niederroedern, Alsace.

I have a date from a French 10 year index that looks like 4 Schaldag 3. I know that it's year 3 in the FRC, but I've never seen a date with this name. Unfortunately, the associated record doesn't exist, only the index. Is Schaldag possibly the German name given to the complimentary dates? -Dave
