Kevin and NJ and other interested parties. Birth and Baptismal Records for St. John the Baptist Church at Gildehaus are printed in the Missouri State Genealogical Society Journal, Volume XX, No 1 (2000). Also records for St. Joseph Parish, Neier, Franklin County are printed in their 1999 Volume XIX, No. 3 issue. These records are also available at LDS Family History Centers on microfilm but some are in Latin -- actually Latin is not as hard to figure out as it sounds. Records for St. Francis Borgia are in another issue but I understand something went wrong and it didn't get proofread before it was printed; therefore, there are some errors in it. Of course, if you have direct access to the actual records, that is wonderful and probably the fastest for all concerned. I would like to set up a series of web pages for church records and get this information listed at this site. I am presently writing to the genealogical society to see if they will make an exception to their usual five-year rule and allow me to post the information here. If not, perhaps someone can get the microfilm from the churches or from an LDS FHC and transcribe it so we won't be taking any chance with copyright violations. (I realize facts can't be copied, but the format and probably the translation, could). In fact, anyone with access to church or rural school records (no grades please) or justice-of-the-peace records or anything else appropriate for posting here is asked (begged) to contact me. I hope this helps. Sue Cooley Franklin County Coordinator Missouri USGenWeb Project
