At the time of my grandfather's birth (1878) the minister was Rev. Melancthon Ort. The records for this church were then combined with those of the First English Lutheran Church in Lockport. Baptism, marriage and death records for that church have been published and are located at the office of the Niagara County Historian, Niagara County Courthouse in Lockport. I have visited the Dysinger Cemetery several times in the past but only transcribed records for my own family members: Wynkoop, Loucks, Van Cleve and a few others. Unfortunately, there was another cemetery in the area, right on Akron Road, that became completely destroyed and some of your ancestors as well as mine may easily have been buried there. 30 years ago when I visited there the stones were in one huge horizontal stack in the midst of a car junk yard that had taken over the place. I wonder if there are any records existing from that place. What a shame. Another nearby cemetery possibility is the Schaeffer Cemetery--in good shape. I was born in Lockport in Niagara County but have not lived there for almost 40 years. Live suburbs of Chicago but have all my family lines through Niagara County. Have been working on genealogy of those families for those same 40 years. Some of my other Niagara County lines are Pool(e), Weaver, Kinne, Karchner, Barber, Holmes, Salisbury, Ward, etc. If I can be of any assistance, please let me know.
