Hi Listers. I am looking for people whose ancestors & relatives were members of this church that dissolved in 1976. The church began as 2nd German Evangelical United Zion Church in 1862, when it split from the First Evangelical Church. In the 1800s it was located at Union & 14th Streets, Chicago. By 1910 it was located at Ashland & Hastings & by the 1940s at 5450 VanBuren (Van Buren & Lotus). In 1966 it merged into Kloeckner Memorial UCC Church, but was dissolved in 1976 due to declining membership. I have several newspaper articles about the church & replies from the Evangelical Church Archives & the UCC Church Archives. The records were not recovered when the church dissolved. Archivists have suggested that perhaps the Registers were simply taken home by church members so they would not be lost or perhaps were taken to the churches they transferred to. Does anyone out there have relatives that attended this particular church? If so, any idea what churches they transferred to in 1976? I'm hoping someone might know where those Registers are or what happened to them. Thanks in advance to anyone who knows where any members went in 1976. Judy Anchorage, AK
