We are excited to announce that the newest editions of ‘German Immigrants in American Church Records’, specifically Volumes 29 and 30, have been released and are now available for purchase. These books were freshly printed in July and are finally ready for delivery after getting assembled last week. Here’s a brief introduction to each volume:
‘German Immigrants in American Church Records – Vol. 29: Dayton Ohio Protestant’ has been put together by the well-renowned author, Mr. Roger P. Minert, Ph.D., A.G. Published in July 2020, it consists of 558 bound-hardcover pages and comes completely indexed using acid-free paper. You can find this book on ISBN 978-1-62859-276-4 under the item number #FR0665. This edition explores two churches in Dayton, Montgomery County, Ohio, listing 14,770 names from 7,447 records of immigrants from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. The churches featured are St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church and St. Paul’s Evangelical Lutheran Church.
The next volume in the series, ‘German Immigrants in American Church Records – Vol. 30: West Central Ohio Protestant’, has also been meticulously compiled by the same author and was published consecutively. A bit larger, it’s a 624-page hard-cover edition which, much like the previous volume, includes an every-name index on acid-free paper.
