Thank you Don - Please can you tell me, are the Germantown Lutheran Records for the St Michael's Lutheran Church in the Phila. Archives ? or are they in a Germantown Archives separate, or are they in their own facility ... I am confused.. It appears they are at 7301 Germantown Ave , I'm trying to ascertain if the Lutheran Church Archives Records are available for Research,, and also if the Lutheran Archives can do Research, by their own staff, and do they have a web-site where they can be contacted to request Research, or a query.....
