Hello Folks, I have been lurking for some time, and I have some info people might like. This last summer, I made a trip to Stanton, NE. At St. John's Lutheran Church, the pastor was kind enough to let me copy some info from old church records. I didn't have alot of time to work with, so I copied only those pages I saw mention of my family names. Of course, other names were on these pages, too. Now that even more surnames have been added to my list, I wish I had all the pages. In time...This info may in fact be available at FHC or wherever. In the hopes of finding some family connections, and in the hopes of helping a few people out, I am going to post surnames mentioned, beginning with the births, to this list. If anyone has a request for a specific name, please contact me privately, and refer to the corresponding page #. If someone would be so kind as to let me know if there is a Stanton Co. or Madison Co. NE list, I will also post this on those pages. When I am done filling info requests for any birth surname queries, I will move on to Confirmation and Congregational Members (only one page), then to deaths. I will first mention surnames I am interested in: LEHMAN/LEHMANN, WELLINTZ/WELNETZ, MELCHER, WAGNER, SHOEMAKER, HEBNER, BRUSSOW, WERBELOW, SCHNABEL, PUGH, ELLIS, MATTHES, RAASCH, HUEBNER, MUELLER, BRANDT, BIEHLE, SIMON, etc, Now you see why I wish I had copied all the pages! These names don't necessarily appear in the church records, but all were in Stanton or Madison Co. at some time. All I ask in return for this info: if there is anyone out there with easy access to directories or census records, etc. for 1870 to 1930, I would appreciate a few look-ups. Or any info on the above names. Here goes, births from St. John Lutheran Church, Stanton Co., surnames mentioned as either parents or sponsors: Page 33 - the year 1896, Pastor Vollbrecht LEHMANN SCHUMANN BRANDT SCHNABEL SCHMAH BLUMBERG PATSCH SYDOW BERNSTRAUDS HERMANN KLUG PAUL WICHMANN NEUMANN SCHWARZ FEYERHERM HORN PRAWITZ SIMON OLK ASCH RAABE RAWITZ WIEBOLD BELZ FULLNER VAHSHOTZ PHILLIPP SCHULZE LENSER SCHILLING WILLER HERSCHLAG BENNISOH FECHNER WERNER HERSCHLAG BIEHLE KOCH KRUGER page 34, contin.
