Many people on this List are knowledgeable about different churches across the country. Some of us are unofficial historians about particular locations. How about you tell us the name(s) you are searching, the city, county, and state, and maybe someone can summarize that church's history and major persons. If you need background info on German Baptists, just ask your questions.
