Church Records

The earliest known records begin in 1878. If records were kept prior to that, they have been lost. The Original Records were provided by the Nebraska State Society. The files are quite large so be patient while the pages are loading.

Parts 1, 2, and 3 include records through August 1912. Part 4 provides information on member families through 1912. Part 5 includes records from September 1912 to the close of the church. Most of the original records are in German. A best attempt has been made to transcribe pertinent information from the Baptism, Confirmation, Marriage, and Death sections of the records. The records are available for viewing on microfilm at the Nebraska State Historical Society.
