Hello, I want to give you all a great big thanks for all the help that you have given me. I really, really appreciate it. Thank you especially to German Bob for the excerpt from his book. It looks like the church copies of marriage records are my last shot. Can anyone tell me where L. B. Caldwell M. E. M.( Methodist Episcopal minister?) might have preached @ August 1, 1870? Also, where would the marriage records be for the German Church on Loraine and McLean? Is it very, very difficult to get records like these? Thank you SO much, Catherine Galvin --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - 50x more storage than other providers!

Last year I gave my info on the German Methodist churches to Gracelouise Sims Moore who edited the definitive book on the Greater Cleveland Methodist churches entitled THE TAPESTERY OF FAITH. THE HISTORY OF METHODISM IN THE CLEVELAND DISTRICT OF THE EAST OHIO CONFERENCE. You can contact her through her husband, Prof. Moore, at Baldwin-Wallace College in Berea, Ohio, Phone; 440=826-2900. Her book shows Rev. Caldwell was at the Bridge Street Methodist Episcopal Church which was sold in 1869. Through him another church and parsonage was bought from a German Evangelical congergation on Taylor Street between Bridge and Lorain Avenues and the name was changed to Taylor Street Methodist Episcopal Church. Over the years the name changed again when the church moved to Gordon Avenue. Through mergers it eventually became Peoples Hope Methodist Episcopal, 6515 Bridge Avenue, Cleveland, OH 44102. So did the German church on Lorain & McLean. Catherine Gal! vin <catgalvin@yahoo.com> wrote:Hello, I want to give you all a great big thanks for all the help that you have given me.
