Many German-language church records have been published for the German Lutheran and Reformed congregations of the Old Pine Church at Mill Creek and the Zion-Pine Church at Stony Creek (ed. Klaus Wust). But the records in his books stop at 1827-28, when the church began using the English language. Would anyone know if any of the English-language records from Zion-Pine have been published? A researcher by the name of Harry Long found some Lindamood baptismal records for me from 1829-31 from "Zion Lutheran at Swover Creek" (Shen. Co.). He said they had been transcribed onto some kind of ancient floppy disc, and I don't know where they or the original entries would be available. Is there a Lutheran archives in the area that might house these records? Specific names and dates I'm looking for are: Baptism for Frances/Fanny Ruble, ca 1806. Marriage for Abraham Lindamood & Fanny Ruble, 10 Feb 1829 (looking for her parents, they're not mentioned on the marriage bond). Baptism for Edmond Lindamood, ca Oct. 1835. Thanks, Rita
