The American Historical Society of Germans from Russia Nebraska Panhandle Chapter worked to get the church records from the area microfilmed. However, the Minatare records were not a part of that project - possibly when the church closed, the records were sent to a church in the area or possibly went with some of the leaders of the congregation? There were many Germans from Russia in the area. My Great Grandfather - George Heinrich (Henry) Stricker died in September 1913 and was living on "the old Cox Place" according to the death notice in the Minatare newspaper. His death certificate signed by the minister of St James Lutheran Church in Scottsbluff - Pastor Eggold - indicated that he was buried in the Minatare cemetery. We also cannot find a grave for him. Any informatio! n would be appreciated Patti Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Patti, Our Society charges $10.00 for the first hour and $8.00 for each additional hour. I will see what I can do for you if the charges are okay with you. For almost 20 years I was the secretary to Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church. That was a lot of typing for the top of the Sunday bulletin. Finally the Church Board checked old records and found Lutheran was never offically the name. So--less work for me. Wanda Henkel whenkel@actcom.net Let me know what you think about the charges. I hope it is okay with you. ----- Original Message ----- From: <gc-gateway@rootsweb.com> To: <NESCOTTS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, January 20, 2014 7:12 PM Subject: [NESCOTTS] Church in Minatare Nebraska > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Author: pattilynn > Surnames: > Classification: queries > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.nebraska.counties.scottsbluff/232/mb.ashx > > Message Board Post: > > I am trying to locate the church records for the church in Minatare Scotts > Bluff, Nebraska - it was probably established as an Evangelical Lutheran > Church or similar and closed in the 1950 or 1960s.
