The Lutheran Church had many different synods and then combined to the LCA and the ALC. About 30-40 years ago they combined to form the ELCA. I am not sure if records from the old LCA and the old ALC are all archived at Luther Northwestern Seminary, but I know many of them are. I do not know how one can access them, but I would think it would be worth a call. If Redeemer is Wisconsin Synod or Missouri Synod - those records will not be at LNW Sem. I would contact the church headquarters for those synods and inquire. Good luck Jo H In a message dated 5/8/2008 11:34:03 A.M.

ELCA does not have what I need, which is specifically for the Redeemer Church on Dale St. **************Wondering what's for Dinner Tonight? Get new twists on family favorites at AOL Food.
