Hello ECRs, I've sent a few emails out to the various Lutheran Archives and one has come back. I've updated the Lutheran Churches on Virtual Newark. The following is the information contained in the email: The records for the current St. John's Lutheran Church are held at the church with the older ones being held in Philadelphia. The records for the Second St. John's Lutheran Church and St. Paul's Lutheran Church are at the congregation that they merged with, Redeemer in Irvington, NJ. The archives in Philadelphia claim to have records for the elusive German Evangelical Church on Mulberry Street. I am sending a follow up email to see what years they have. This is the address for the Lutheran Archives in NY: The Rev. Paul Britton, Synod Archivist Metropolitan NY Synod, ELCA Gloria Dei Lutheran Church 22 E. 18th Street Huntington Station, NY 11746 Phone: 516-271-2466 Unfortunately, the Rev. Paul Britton has recently broke his leg so all requests will probably be delayed until that heals. The Archives in Philadelphia are open to visitors on Tuesdays and Fridays by Appointment only. They charge a fee of $5 per day and .15¢ a copy. They also do mail research for $20 per hour with a maximum of 3 hours. Unfortunately, they are currently swamped with requests so they are not taking any. I believe I've covered everything. Good Luck, ------ Glenn G. Geisheimer glenng@castle.net
