The catalog for the LDS Family History Library does list a film with North German Lutheran church records. The microfilm number is 1763571, and it contains Baptisms 1863-1882, Marriages 1863-1882, Deaths 1863-1881, Banns 1838-1840, supporting documents for marriages 1838-1854 and 1902-1928. You might find something by looking at the film if you can get it to a nearby LDS family history center.

Researchers! his is my first attempt at finding old Hamilton Co. records. I spent about 15 ars looking for a marriage record in Clayton Co. Iowa and, just recently, other researcher turned up a mention of it in Hamilton Co., Ohio. believe the record is at the North German Lutheran Church. tp://www.hcgsdata.org/grooms/Mein-Meyerr.shtml milton County Genealogical Society ncinnati Marriage Indexes 40-49 E-P-F Menke, Ernst Koetting, Anna Cath. have the exact date of the marriage as 19 Nov 1845. I wrote to the Public brary and asked if they could obtain a copy of that record for me. But they ote back saying that they "tried to read the North German Lutheran Church film t it simply too faded to make out many names. We did not see a Menke, tting, Dubbels or Ribbe - but it could be there. While the names of the the ide and groom are difficult to make the rest of the information is almost possible. The roll of film MF929.377177 H217 1989 is readable but it seems to random records thrown together." as anybody else had the good fortune to obtain a legible marriage record in the id-1800s from the North German Lutheran Church? I am really hoping to find me parents or siblings or other family members for Ernst Menke and Anna therine Kötting. OTE: This must have moved to Clayton Co., Iowa almost immediately after their dding, as their first child (listed on the 1850 census) was born in Iowa. deral Census on the 14th of Sept, 1850 for Jefferson Township, Clayton Co., IA numerated by Elipholet ere is a big fat piece of old scotch tape over the first name of the head of usehold, but I'm reasonably certain that the name should be Ernest or Ernst. elling 187 Family 187 Ernst MENKER, 30, m, Blacksmith, 100 in Real Estate, ace of birth - Ger. therine Menker, 30, f, b.
