Good Shepherd was formerly called Amity Lutheran Church. The name change came in the 60s with the merging with Emmanuel German Lutheran Church. The church does have early records. As the church is without Pastor at this time you may want to visit or write an elderly gentlemen by the name of Fred Buske who is knowlegable to the location of the church records. Fred Buske 309 N Center, Lena, IL 61048. You may also want to send photo copies of the pictures. We have several in the Historical Society that could help identify also. What is you location?
