Hello Debbie, In response to your query, I had a problem finding records from this church also. This is what I did, first I got a marriage record from the Archives in Brooklyn which put me on this quest (German Presbyterian Church, 230 Hopkins St, the clergyman: Rev. John Meury). I bought a book “Inventory of the Church Archives of New York City: Presbyterian Church in the USA,” (New York, NY: Historical Records Survey Works Projects Administration, New York, 1940) and I found that the Bushwick Avenue German Presbyterian Church, Brooklyn, New York, was organized 1868, and merged with the German Church of Peace, Brooklyn, (org. 1884) in 1921. At this time I contacted the Presbyterian Historical Society in Philadelphia, PA and was told that they did not have the church records. They told me to contact the Burke Library, Union Theological Seminary, New York which I did and was told that they no longer had church records. As it turned out this church, the Bushwick Avenue Church of Peace merged into Westminster-Bethany Presbyterian Church, Brooklyn, in 1981. to contact the Westminster Bethany Presbyterian Church, 644 MacDonugh, Brooklyn 11233, (718) 443-1509. At this time I have not been able to contact the church. I Believe they have all the church records. The records that I think will be most important are the Records of the Baptisms 2 vol. 1868-90, 1890-1921; and Records of Marriages, 2 vols, 1868-75, 1875-1921. I am looking for the surnames: Radecke and Schmidt (at times listed as Smith in the census recorders). They lived at 137 Harrison Av, Brooklyn.
