It is sometimes difficult for people in the United States, who have grown up with such a wide variety of Christian denominations to understand the German situation. The term "Protestant" or "Evangelish" in German encompasses anyone not a Roman Catholic. But the Protestant family in Germany did include two diverse confessional strains--the Lutheran and the Reformed, the latter following the theology of John Calvin and his circle. Religious confession and political allegiance were mixed together under a principle that the faith of the ruler of a territory determined the official confessional faith of a territory. And the Reformed were very much a minority, so few territories officially followed that tradition. For the most part an area was either Lutheran or Roman Catholic. There were also groups then called Anabaptists--today represented by such traditions a Mennonites and Amish--who were found in German territories but never had a ruler give them legitimacy and often suffered various levels of persecution. Individual churches in the Lutheran or Protestant areas might follow either the Lutheran or the Reformed confessions and such differences were more or less tolerated. However, in 1817 Frederick William III, king of Prussia, himself a follower of the Reformed confession while his wife was a Lutheran, sought to force the churches in Prussia, the largest of the German territories, to follow one combined formula in worship with wording, for example, in the liturgy for the distribution of Holy Communion that was ambiguous so that both Lutherans and Reformed could interpret it according to their differing understandings. Some Lutherans resisted this. That's the origin of the term "altlutherisch" or "Altlutheraner." In some areas these pastors were removed from their parishes and even put into prison for resisting the king's decrees. As a result, there were several movements of pastors and members of their congregations to the U.S. and to Australia. The largest groups settled in western New York and in Wisconsin. Primarily the Wisconsin and the former Buffalo Synod were formed from these groups, but also the Missouri Synod held strongly to this Lutheran confessional position and readily received "old Lutherans" from Prussia into its congregations. Present-day Lutheran churches in the U.S. come from a much broader series of traditions that have gradually merged with the followers of the "Old Lutheran" tradition. They include the descendants of the large Lutheran population that came to America in the colonial period and settled along the east coast, especially heavily in the Carolinas, Pennsylvania, Maryland and New York and gradually spreading west in the 19th century. Another large component of the present Lutheran tradition consists of churches of Scandinavian heritage, and they came from a broad spectrum of attitudes and levels of commitment to the Lutheran confessional tradition. It's a very complex story! And the response of the lady you mentioned is certainly how many today perceive the religious tradition of their families. There might even be some whose ancestors were members of one of those Evangelical Synod congregations we discussed earlier who would make that claim about their family.

This was a wonderful clarification for me - as my gggrandparents were members of the Evangelical Church . The daughters of this family joined the WLS Church, but the Mother was buried from the UCC . The father died and was buried in the Evangelical Church and I am having a really difficult time finding any of HIS church records. I now have another source of inquiry.

Not all of the present day Lutheran churches sprang from this group They are mainly the Missouri Synods, They were the Buffalo Synod in New York. When it comes to the various synods of the Lutheran church, it becomes very complicated At one time there were over 60 Lutheran Synods in the United States.

I'm so glad you've responded to our plea for clarification. Talk about people being confused. I had mentioned one time on this forum that when I grew up in Germany there were only two major religious confessions in Germany, Catholic and Protestant, with the Evangelical-Lutherans being counted among the Protestants. Some lady responded that her ancestors were Lutherans and that they would turn over in their grave if someone had called them Protestants.:) This thread started with the "Altlutheraner" and before closing the subject I have one more question. Am I to assume that the present day "Lutheran" churches sprang from the "Altlutheraner"? I'm asking because pastor Gerhard Doroh of St. Peter's Lutheran Church in Richmond, MI asked me once if I knew about the German Lutherans [I assume he referred to the Altlutheraner] who at one time had been persecuted, even killed, and driven out of the country. At the time I had not heard about the Altlutheran in Germany or in the US and I thought he was talking about medievil times.

I just noticed that this exchange and a subsequent one intended for the G-P-L list became only a personal exchange, so I am herewith forwarding it to the list.

I am the interim director of Concordia Historical Institute. You are correct about the limited records available at CHI. That was my point in responding. We have records of some disbanded congregations and of some existing congregations who have deposited their original records with us or have had their records microfilmed and deposited copies with us. We do not have records of baptisms, marriages and burials from most congregations. We are often contacted by people who need assistance identifying an existing congregation that might have records of their ancestors. That "St James in some far away hamlet" might still be in existence but with a different name or location than an old baptismal certificate or marriage certificate indicates. The place names in those old Lutheran calendars in many instances are not the names by which the place is known today, or the congregation may have merged with another or relocated. In those kinds of situations, we can sometimes be of assistance in identifying the current possibilities for finding records. Sometimes people have a certificate with a pastor's name but without the name of a congregation. Those calendars help us identify where that pastor was serving at the time of the baptism, etc. I want to make clear that we by no means have records of every Missouri Synod Lutheran baptism or marriage, but we have some, and we may be able to assist people in determining other places to contact. People can contact us with the information that they have, and we will do what we can to help. Concordia Historical Institute is the Department of Archives and History of The Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod. Our primary function is to preserve the records of the church body itself. Congregational records are the responsibility of the individual congregations. When congregations close, they are encouraged to deposit their records with us, but many churches closed long before the Institute was organized or began to gather these records, so those records have been lost or their existence is unknown. I hope you understand that we want to assist people where we can, but we also don't want to give a false impression that we can answer every possible question. The best approach is for people looking for Lutheran church records, particularly of churches that belong or belonged to the Missouri Synod, to contact us. Please also be aware that our reference staff is limited. A huge influx of queries will undoubtedly mean some delay in getting a reply.

Hello Catharine, It is true that the ship MEDEA sailed from Hamburg on 15 May 1852, however, there was no family BOHNSACK listed as a passenger. However, on 1 May 1852, the ship ANNA KATHARINE sailed from Hamburg to Quebec, carrying one Joachim BOHNSACK with wife and one child age 1-1/2 years of age. Place of birth: Füzen, Prussia; Destination: Quebec. Ursula Catherine Dorsey wrote: > I am looking for information on the ship Medea.

The membership of our mailing lists is rising steadily and our transcribers and proofreaders of passenger lists are working busily in the background to transcribe more lists. We have changed our "image" from "Saxonyroots" to "Germanyroots" in order to identify our goals better.. Our Ancestors Database http://www.germanyroots.com/Ancestors_Database is kind of "exploding" with over of a quarter of a million entries and pretty soon you will be able to add your own GEDCOM files to it. We also added the Portuguese language to our databases (well, sorry, it is not complete yet and we still could use a lot of help on that subject).. Our future looks brighter than ever before with soo many goals we are trying to accomplish in the NEW year..
