I'm wondering how the Reformed/Lutheran union might have played itself out in the lives of some of my relatives. I have ancestors from Buer, Kingdom of Hannover. My g-g-grandfather PRANTE and three of his siblings came to America in 1842 and settled in southeastern Indiana/northern Kentucky. My g-g-grandfather and his sister were members of a Lutheran church in Farmers Retreat. I think one of his brothers was a member of a neighboring Lutheran church, but the other brother was a member of a German Reformed church in Louisville. Other PRANTES who settled in southeastern Missouri, were also in German Reformed churches. As far as I can tell, there was only one church in Buer--Lutheran, to my knowledge. Did the formerly Reformed or formerly Lutheran churches now united, share clergy and mingle theologies such that family members would go either way once they arrived in the US? This seems to be the only family in my ancestry that did this. Thanks, Marilyn
