Hello List, I recently rented a film from the LDS (FHL 1510194, Kansas, Lutheran Church Records). The film is written in German and had several names of my family members in it. Prior to the actual church register beginning in 1889 - 1927, there are about 20 pages written in German with names following certain segments. Since Pastors names were included, I assumed the other names were Elders of the church, but someone suggested these pages might be the charter for the organization of the town of Stolzenbach and these surnames Elders of the Community instead of the church. Has anyone else rented this film or have any knowledge of there being Community Elders when a town was formed? I would appreciate any advice on this and thank you in advance.
