    1. Re: [PALANCAS] church information
    2. From Lancaster County, Pennsylvania Church Records of the 18th Century Volume 4 by F. Edward Wright, published by Willow Bend Books, Westminster, Md. 2000. Moravian Churches listed are: Donegal/Mount Joy Moravian Lancaster Moravian-In the early 1740s the Lutheran Pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church at Lancaster, Laurenz Nyberg, favored the Moravians. When some of the Lutherans took active measures to force him out, his supporters built a new church (St. Andrew's) up the street. Believing he retained responsibility for all Lutherans at Lancaster, Nyberg began anew register that year, entering in it the records for both congregations. When the Moravians organized as a separate denomination in 1748/9 they continued to worship in their new church but retained the old Lutheran register. The original of it is in the Moravian Archives at Bethlehem, a translation of the first part was published by Smith and Weiser as an appendix in Trinity Lutheran Church Records, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Vol. I. Warwick Moravian Lititz Moravian Muddy Creek Moravian I hope this answers your questions. Yvonne
