German Immigrants in American Church Records

LIST OF CHURCH NAMES BY STATE AND BY LOCATION 

  • This list includes over 165 churches.

  • Some locations include county names.

  • The names of these churches are the original names or the earliest versions of names found in the records to which we had access. Many of those names have changed over the years – some of them more than once – and several churches have changed locations or merged with other churches. It is well beyond our scope to document all of those changes.
