Milton, The reason I asked was I am looking for the church where my Great Grandparents may have attended or at least the name so I can locate the records. The info given to me said that they went to the German Luthern church on Island. The source has since died so I can't clearify. These prople lived on Race Street; 874 Franklin St; 733 North 7th St; 3534 N Warnock St. From what I can tell they seem to be in the same general area. I was trying to nail down the German Luthern Church part of the message. Any further help will be appriciated.
