I think it is an excellent idea. Especially if you are talking about way back when and Lutheran Churches! I am getting nowhere in trying to find the church William T.

As there are no Lutheran Churches in Essex today, I would suggest contacting the Historical Society there or the two Lutheran Historical Societies. I believe that Mary has the url of each.

Ella, That makes me think that it would be best to start with those churches that are no longer in existence. Of course, figuring out which churches don't exist anymore could be tricky... I wonder if the Reimann genealogy posted to the address below could be related to your search? http://www.williamreimann.com/katya/reimann.html -- Mary Ella Hauser wrote: > > I think it is an excellent idea.

Ella, By the way, the County Coordinator for Essex County, New Jersey, who is Glenn Geisheimer, has done some research regarding the records of Lutheran Churches in Essex County. He was a subscriber to this list at one time; if he's still here maybe he'll answer you directly. According to his county page, the records for Lutheran churches in Essex County, NJ, will most likely be found at the Lutheran Archives in Philadelphia, which is associated with the ELCA (Evangelical Lutheran Church in America).
