I am wondering if they have a department to contact about genealogy questions or have records at their site. I am trying to find a church that my gggrandfather and family(Michaelis) would have belonged to after arriving in 1880 Springwells Township(later part of Detroit,MI. 3 daughters were born in the late 80s/early 1890s and married at St Stephens German Lutheran Church. The pastor there had a record book from 1890 and I don't know what church served that area before that. A brother who was 9 upon arrival in 1880 would have made his Confirmation in the 80s and I was hoping that a C record may have a place of baptism in Germany - just digging for any source that might lead to a place of birth in Germany! Thanks for any info you may be able to give on Lutheran records. Fran Steamboat Springs, CO Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
