Dear Barbara & George, This is true. My uncle was one of the very last pastors for St. John's in the last years is was in existence also. I don't know who was in charge when he retired. I believe all the records would now be in the Lutheran Archives, as at the closing of the parish, they would have been turned in to them. Hope they all are, because my youngest son was baptized there in 1970. -----Original Message----- From: pawestmo-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:pawestmo-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Barbara & George Grenier Sent: Friday, February 24, 2012 12:51 PM To: pawestmo@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [PAWESTMO] Lutheran Church Records?
