Church Records

Himmel’s Church Records

The first baptism for the Himmel’s Church was recorded June 7, 1774. Since that time, records of marriages, baptisms, funerals, and confirmations have been maintained for the church.

In February 1780, the land the church is situated on was presented by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to Andrew Reitz and Nicholas Hederick, in trust, for a Lutheran and Calvinist Church.

During the 1800's Himmel’s Church was a joint congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran & High German Reformed Christian denominations.

COMING SOON!

Volunteers have taken on the huge task of transcribing these records which will soon be available here.

At present the following time periods have been completed and are included below:

-Joint congregations during the 1800's

-Reformed congregation 1774 to 1819

-Lutheran congregation 1910 to 1939

-Lutheran congregation 1939 to 1989

-Reformed congregation 1917 to 1991

As time and volunteers allow, more records will be added to the list.

Please note that the volunteers have done their best to transcribe as accurately as possible, but cannot be held responsible for the accuracy of the information they are transcribing.
