You mention burials at North Ridge Cemetery in Town of Cambria And then you mention church records from there. I have a feeling that the cemetery and the church you're talking about is St. Peter's Lutheran Church which is right next to North Ridge Cemetery. Several years ago on a blistering hot day I took a quick look around St. Peter's cemetery and managed to get back into some air conditioning before I passed out. After I got back home, I wrote down some of the family names that I had noted on the tombstones. Among them where, in order of writing them down, of the names you mentioned there were Hillman, Ganantz, Schmidt and Krueger. By the way, there are also Haussman graves there but they're not my family--they're from Mecklenburg, Germany, where most of the local Germans came from. However, the local family agreed to adopt my sister and I about 10 years ago when we felt that we needed a Haussmann family nearby! Maybe you could let the list know how to obtain records from the St. Peter's church. I hesitate to call the pastor and the church is a full 20 minutes drive when where I live. :-) Hey, it's in Town of Cambria and I"m in Town of Porter. vee
