    1. [MD-BALTIMORECITY] Schwartz cemetery and church records
    2. Endres, Timothy J.
    3. I noticed that the microfilimed church death records for the First German United Evangelical Church begin in June 1864. The marriages records go back to 1850. Looking at the table of contents for the Md Archives microfilm of the records (M1549-2), it looks as if pages 88-127 of the church are not on the microfilm. Perhaps these contain the death records from 1850 through May 1864. Anyone know if those pages are available anywhere else? Also, from Gary Ruppert's post about the associated cemetery, "it's still located where it has always been on O'Donnell Street". That seems reasonable to me from what I've seen and from the notes on the history of the First German United Evangelical Church, which are on the microfilm preceding the church's records. However, the The Very Quiet Baltimoreans book states the present cemetery was established in 1877, and had a precursor cemetery at East and Dillon streets from 1850-1877, unless I am misunderstanding things. I am interested in these matters because an ancestor, Frederick Endres, may have died and been buried from this church around May 1864, and the facts of his birth, life, death and burial have been maddeningly elusive. Facts of his birth and some of his life we have finally scraped together, but death and burial continue to confound us. Tim Endres
