My ggrandmother Susanna Muster was from Canton Zurich and emigrated in 1864. She was Evangelische. (Don't know just what my Aargau ggrandfatherwas!! I think he just went along with Susanna!) In New York, they went to the reformed Lutheran church; when they moved to Valparaiso, IN around 1878, they attended the reformed Lutheran church there. The story: when I went to Valparaiso to check church records, I found my grandmother Sophia duly listed in the handwritten records as being confirmed in the Reformed Lutheran church in 1880. There was a little asterisk by her name. At the bottom of the page, the asterisk preceded a sentence referring to her. Since everything was written in German (and I don't know German), I asked the pastor to translate. He did so a bit sheepishly, saying that the sentence read: "married a Roman Catholic in Chicago and unfortunately became a Roman Catholic herself." (I knew that the conversion occurred when she met and married my Irish grandfather, and, from my mother's stories, became more Catholic than any of our Irish ever hoped to be!!) Yes, Paul, the pursuit of family history is indeed " fun and mentally/spiritually rewarding." Cheers, Jude
