In trying to get you a positive answer I dug up a bit more information on the Minister, A. H. Lochman. Augustus Lochman took ill sometime in the 1820's, and died in 1826. His son A. H. Lochman apparently took over and performed the ministerial duties of his father. I say apparently because the writings aren't too detailed. The original German records are kept in the Gettysburg Seminary's Archives, with copies transcribed from German to English held here in St. Peters. I have tried to get answers to questions like is someone available to do this research, would there be a donation welcomed, who would do it, and the like. St. Peters has a web site, but I lost the link and people I asked haven't responded as of noon Saturday. They are looking for a webmaster. The office was closed Friday afternoon when I called, and the site isn't listed in the latest monthly bulletin. I quit searching the web after the 30th page of St. Peters Lutheran Churches, but will follow up, conditions permitting. -- Regards, CHARLES EARL FIES -- Fies Family Fotos <http://home.att.net/~chasfies/> FIES/FEES Family History Research Site <http://www.fies-fees.org> BABB - HARTMAN <http://home.att.net/~chasfies/Babbs.html> DAUPHIN CO.
