Thanks to all for the appreciative notes I've received regarding the postings of baptisms. This makes the effort well worthwhile. I've located some incidental material regarding the various pastorates of the church, including the author of the book I've been using. He was pastor from 1887-1902. It's located at http://pages.cthome.net/firstchurchnl/history.htm It's nice to have additional documentation of our ancestors for our files but please remember that these postings are only a copy of a copy of the original records. Although I've attempted to do careful proofreading, I can not swear to the complete accuracy of the baptismal transcription. As always, it's preferable to see the original records. And if that's not possible, one should check S. Leroy Blake's book. Blake made every effort to maintain the spelling of the original records, and Ive endeavored to do the same in transcribing his information. If anyone needs a page number for a particular entry, please email me off-list with the date included. The baptisms run from pages 445-556 and I have no index of names. Currently the material transcribed runs from page 445 through page 533.
