Hi Betty Lou, It's been a long time since we've heard from you. I've been wondering how you are doing and was happy to see your post. Ward 19 was in the far northwest corner of the city, bounded by Baltimore Street, Fremont, Pennsylvania, North Avenue, and the western boundary of the city. You can drill down to see a good 1865 map that shows the Wards at: http://mdslavery.net/html/mapped_images/mapsindex.html While the map shows a lot of streets in Ward 19, I think those in the far north were not developed in 1850. Some of those old maps showed planned streets in the suburbs that had not been completed yet. One church I see on Sachse's 1868 Birdseye view is St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church at Saratoga and Schroeder Streets. The MD Genealogical Society has started posting some of Pauline Leitner's transcriptions, including those from St. Paul, at http://www.mdgensoc.org/ As far as other German Lutheran Churches in that area, Gary Ruppert has posted much information in messages on the list over the last couple years. You might search the list archives for "German Lutheran" or "Ruppert." Better yet, Gary is giving a talk on Baltimore's German Lutheran Churches at the local genealogy workshop this Saturday. I plan to attend and will try to ask him about northwest churches. He's also giving a talk on German newspapers that I am looking forward to. I remember that you said that you had gotten lookups in them at the Pratt library from a lady that could read German. Was that Pauline?

Does anyone know, in the 1850 Census, what section of Baltimore City that Ward 19 was in? Also, I am interested in knowing what Germany Lutheran Churches were in that area. Thank you.
