St. Luke's Records 1829-Early 1900's (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780806351087)

In this volume the researcher will find more than 2,000 records of baptism, arranged in chronological order, giving the date, the names of the child and his parents (including the wife's maiden name), and the names of the child's sponsors. The baptisms are followed by several hundred marriage records, giving the date of the marriage, the names of the bride and groom, and witnesses to the marriage. A handful of death records from the 1840s are extant, though most of the mortality records found in the volume commence with 1876 and continue to 1947. Also included are two membership lists from the 1830s; a number of communion and confirmation records, starting in 1853; and a table of surname variants and list of St. Luke's pastors at the front of the book. In all, the complete name index at the back of the volume refers to 15,000 persons who figured in the life of St. Luke's Church since its founding.
