The church is still very active and is one of the largest in Monroe, but is no longer a German Evangelical Church having become a UCC in the 1960's. They have very good records going back to about 1850. In my database I am using the surname Lellmer for Wilhamine, but most accounts say it is Zillmer. Sometimes in German handwriting scripts it is very hard to distinguish between an "L" and a "Z", but it looks more like an "L" to me. At some point in time it may have been changed which was a fairly common practice among Germans in the late 1800's. When I get the records from Dölitz scanned I will send them along.
