To List, St. Paul Lutheran Church, founded in 1840, is the second-oldest German Protestant congregation in New Orleans. My family has been connected with this church since 1846. Despite several fires and hurricanes over the years, the records of the church have been preserved. The original records from 1840 to 1844 are at Tulane University. The records from 1844 to 1947 are now safely stored in St. Louis, Missouri. Microfilm copies of these records have been available for many years. Recently the microfilms were scanned. I have organized these scans and have placed them online here: http://freepages.religions.rootsweb.com/~neworleans/st_paul_records/ The older records can be hard to use as they are in old German script. As time permits, I am working to transcribe the indexes. Anyone who has connections with German Protestants in downtown New Orleans may find these records of interest. Information on the records of other German-language churches in New Orleans, both Catholic and Protestant, can be found here: http://freepages.religions.rootsweb.com/~neworleans/ Norm ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!

Norm, thank you so much for posting these records. I have grandparents and great grandparents in these records. Unfortunately, I can only translate the names and dates. Do you know anyone who is willing to translate these records (for a fee, of course). Barbara V.
