My great great grandmother from St. Croix and her brother attended the Moravian schools in Bethlehem and Nazareth in the 1840s.Several years ago, the keepers of the records in Bethlehem were very helpful in confirming the years they attended, etc. If I am not mistaken, the records are in old German script, though I have not seen them myself. I am not certain who is allowed to view the actual documents themselves, but the people I asked were super in their help and very fast.
