All these families were in Germantown in the 1900 census. I am searching for birth records but the Vital records office does not have them as they are in the time frame from 1890- 1910. I need to find the church for the area around Germantown and Fessenden. They were all from Romania and Russia and all were of baptist religion. I know that there was a German Baptist Church in Germantown but it is gone now and I dont know where to find birth records for that church. I am also looking for a history book of that area and any other information regarding that area I can find. If anyone can help me it would be wonderful. Thank you
