Greetings, Christ Luth Ch: Jeremias, son of William and Christine Petz (this is not a typo); b. 28 May 1789, bap 16 Aug 1789. Sp. George and Barbara Strickler ( who, by the way, are my 4g grandparents). 24 Nov 1778, Jacob Embig, son of Christian, m. Magdalena Rohland, dau. of Abraham, both from Lebanon. 04 Oct 1818, Jeremias Betz and Elizabeth Rohland. 02 Mar 1846, Abraham Rohland, widower, and Susanna Stumb, widow. 23 May 1844, Repecca Ruland sic, 44-7-7, died. Pentecost, 1771, Anna Elizabeth Ruhland, George's dau, confirmed. Those are all the entries in the Christ Luth. Ch. book. Elias, not St. Elias, Church is in Newmanstown, Lebanon Co, PA, which is, incidentally, my native town. It was a union church, organized about 1850. Leb. Co. Hist. Soc. has the records on microfilm, done by the LDS; so you could probably get them at any Family History Center. -----Original Message----- From: der@redrose.net <der@redrose.net> To: PABERKS-L@rootsweb.com <PABERKS-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Monday, March 08, 1999 2:33 PM Subject: Stouchsburg, Christ Lutheran Church >Does anyone have easy access to the Stouchsburg, Berks County, Christ >Lutheran Church records?
