This collection contains birth, baptism, and confirmation records from various Evangelical Lutheran Church in America congregations and range from the mid-19th century through the early 20th century. The information contained in the records varies from congregation to congregation (and sometimes from minister to minister). Information can include the child's name, date and place of birth, date and place of baptism, date and place of confirmation, parents' names, name and location of the church, the event type, the title of the original record book, and a digital image of the record.
