I've heard that street name often as a child, so it must be. I remember Mapes Ave- I think one of my grandmother's sisters lived there. Unfortunately, most of the people that I could ask about these things are no longer living-I regret not asking more about it when they were alive. I should wirite down the stories I know and really sit down with my mother and talk. The folks that went to St Pauls seemed like a very close group from childhood on. Now most of them have passed away or moved away. Do you have any specific names? Lois

If you have ancestors in St. Paul's Lutheran Church cemetery, you may be interested in the following information furnished by Lisa Wright, Wright@iogmail.iog.unc.edu. Lisa's aunt, Virginia Loy Fausel, compiled the cemetery listing that is on my website. They are concerned not only about their land but the proposed proximity of the highway to the cemetery. This is what Lisa said: ---------------------------quote------------- "The Dept. of Transportation wants to re-route highway 62 which now goes through the village of Alamance to go beside St. Paul Lutheran Church. This will cut across our family land where the old trading path is and run "right" beside the church cemetery. The village of Alamance Board of Aldermen will meet at 7 p.m. Monday in the Village Meeting Hall. This is very important and we need all interested citizens to attend." ----------------end quote------------------ If anyone lives in the area and has connections to St. Paul's, please contact Lisa direct. This is one of the oldest churches in the area and, at present, has a well kept cemetery. Thank you.

I have indexed the records of Immanuel Lutheran Church in Pensacola, FL, if anyone needs those. Baptisms, Marriage, Confirmations, Death. The church was organized in 1885. Cynthia

John Dornheim: Do you know what Lutheran church German immigrants living in the Bronx most likely would have attended around 1900?

The church you are looking for might be St Paul's in the Bronx, located between 180th St and Tremont Ave. The name of the street escapes me at the moment - I will ask my mother. This is the church of my early childhood - I was born in 1951. My greatgrandfather was the original member of this church when he immigrated from the Frankfurt area in about 1880 at the age of 12 or 14. He gravitated to this church because they had a large German speaking congregation and a German service which lasted at least to the 1960's- maybe longer. After establishing himself in this country he sent for his father and two brothers. His name was August Ring and a brother was Charles. From what my mother tells me , he was a Catholic who became Lutheran because of the language. His first job was to empty spitoons in a local "beer garden" but eventually became one of New York's "finest". His decendents remained in the area until the late 1950's when they gradually began moving out of the city to many various parts of the country. At this time the church's population is Hispanic.

I must assume that they would walk although the trolley system would have been an option. I need an address and then I can narrow it down. Unfortunately, I don't have any historical books from the NY area which would help. As for another question, are we to assume that the Emanuel Church in Brooklyn was Lutheran? There would be a few longshots. Concordia Historical Institute might be of help in St. Louis. The Lutheran Historical Socidety (?) in Gettysburg might help. Finally, yearly reports may have been filed with local historical societies. It would be of immense help to future researchers if present researchers would volunteer some time to catalog the records at their congregation if this has not been done, I know that it is not an easy task when I as a pastor get a request to look something up. My present congregation is only 85 years old, but what a mess our records are in! Another problem is that it is not unheard of for a member of the congregation, secretary let's say, to have taken records home and forgotten to have returned them. Not sure that I've helped this time. John Dornheim

Hi- My German folks-1850-1940`s are giving me a fit! I can`t find any religious info on them. The only Church I know for sure they attended, along with all records, burned down, and I don`t know where or if the records were archived somewhere else. The Church and address were: Emanuel Evangelical Church 400 Montrose St. Bklyn, NY Anyone have any idea of were backup records might have been kept> Thanx, Barbara : ) BLANKENMEYER HOHLER KITTELBERGER MILLER SOFFEL WAGNER

ROB HUFFMAN TOOK PLACE ON DECEMBER 09, 1999 AT APPROXIMATELY FOUR OCLOCK IN THE AFTERNOON. Wendell, I beat you to it. Yesterday I called Rob Huffman, after learning from one of his Neighbors, that he owned the land on which the sight of the Bollinger/Smyer Mill is located. Rob is now 78 years old. He told me by phone than he lived in the Miller's house at the mill sight for some years. I could not get anything definite. He told me that he installed electric lights in the house. He said the flooring was made with random width boards from six inches to twelve inches and wider. The house was in poor condition so he built his present home and gave the old house building to Glenn Young to get it removed. Rob has invite me to come to his house and go to the Mill sight which is located in his pasture and he says we can drive to the site. The Mill race was constructed of stone from the dam to the Mill site and that is still in tact. Since today, Friday December 10, 1999 it is supposed to rain and I am in the midst of being present while contractors are puting a new roof on my son Patrick's home in Maiden. My plate is full. Wendell, if you would like I would be happy to arrange a time on Thursday or Friday of Next week and we will go together to see the mill sight. I rabit hunted with Rob when I was Pastor of St. James Lutheran Church from June 1, 1954 to February 15, 1957. We hunted in the area between St. James Church Road and the Haas Church Cemetery. The Haas Church was a Union Congregation of German Reformed and Lutherans. When Haas closed the Reformed Members moved to Newton and the Lutherans moved to the Present St. James Location. Members from Haas Church and Old St. Paul's Lutheran Church formed the congregation that is now Grace Reformed Church in Newton, NC. Just out of curiosity, I would like to know who has promised to help you find the site of the old mill. I have two sources who have been to the site as they grew up over the years. One was born 1953, the other was born in 1922. Rob Huffman bought the land he owns from the Carpenters. He worked for the Carpenters on their farm land. John Carpenter Sr. lived in Maiden and was married to Sallie Fisher who was from the Rowan/Cabarrus county area, east of the Catawba River. John Carpenter, Jr. lived in the big house which was located across the creek from Rob's present house. Over the years the St. James Church Road has been moved and straightened and the creek bed has also been moved from the original according to Mr. Huffman. Please let me know if you would like to join me. I will take a camera and attempt to record what is there that can be seen. If anyone reads this who has a digital camera and will share with us, you are invited to make plans to join us next week for the first visit. Life begins at big 70. Hope you have a great day too. Getting ready to walk on the Creek Banks again today. Pat C. Cloninger Newton, NC. ----- Original Message ----- From: Wendell C.
