Re: David Seefeldt's request for an address of the church in Allegheny, PA; according to my "Amerikanilcher Kalender fu:r dentlche Lutheraner auf das Jahr 1888...", the address was: 96 Middle Str., Allegheny City, Pa. (it was Missouri Synod) In 1888, a Rev. Fr. Wambsganss was pastor. The pamphlet shows only one church there, but it does not give me the name of the church. Re: Patricia Jones' request for a church in Jefferson Twp/boro, in Allegheny Co., PA; there is a listing for Pastor F. Brand, Braddock, Allegheny Co., Pa. (also Missouri Synod). This I happened to see just going through the pages. There are three Rev. Gu:nther's listed in this 1888 pamphlet (& one teacher Gu:nther), but none in PA. To look up someone or the address, I need the Pastor, Professional or Teacher's name or a community/town/city name to look it up. And the pamphlet has Minnesota, Missouri & Wisconsin Synods. But, again, there are no church names in the pamphlet. We found this pamphlet in our old house after Dad passed away. I was the fourth generation to live there.
