All the Lutheran Churches have now merged. Evangelical Lutheran, German Lutheran, plain Lutheran. I am not a member of the Lutheran church, but a sister-in-law is, and I think I can find out where the records are from her. That neighborhood has changed so thoroughly, 2 or 3 times since then, that most of those churches probably are not there. I did see records from St Jacobus once, at the Lutheran Seminary , 7301 Germantown Avenue, Philadelphia, PA. They may have an archive there. Elizabeth C Ann Brown wrote: >You must be in Philadelphia.

Elizabeth, Thank you so much for this information. If you could find out about the Church records for me. Then I will call them or I may have to write. Perhaps I can find out when they were married.
