I have found a reference in an 1879 Baltimore City German newspaper for someone whose funeral was conducted by S.E. Poultney from the "Kirche der Holy Engels," which although it is a weird mix of English and German I'm translating as the Church of the Holy Angels. This person died at his residence in Canton, was raised Lutheran but married (in a Methodist church) an Irish woman whose religion is unknown. Now, I can't find any church named Holy Angels, at least not in Scharff's History of Baltimore City nor in Kanely's Directory of Maryland Church Records. Does anyone have a clue? Does anyone have Kanely's book on Maryland ministers who is willing to check for me? THANKS Gary 7 June 2002 Baltimore http://home.att.net/~g.ruppert
