If a person was baptized and confirmed in the Evangelische Kirke in Hesse Darmstadt, what denomination would he likely become a member of in the US? I am trying to locate a marriage in New York City in 1853 for this person and don't know whether to check Lutheran churches or not. I have pretty much ruled out Baptist and Methodist churches. I am looking at Reformed churches. Some thirty years later in another part of New York State he joined the Congregational Church. Any suggestions greatly appreciated, as there are too many churches in NYC to consider. Anyone familiar with NYC churches in the 1850s who might have suggestions for churches on the Lower East Side, I'd love to hear from you. Thanks. Carol-Anne Eldridge, Ed D caenh@aol.com
