Most of the church records that we have were taken from microfilms of the original documents obtained on loan from the Family History Library in Salt Lake City.  In a few cases, the original documents were viewed by us.  As noted in the disclaimer for this web site, the information is correct to the best of our knowledge and is provided as a convenience to other researchers.

1. These are abridged lists of the original records.  Although we might have our own need to add to this information in the future, there are no plans to complete the lists and provide unabridged versions.
2. Some records are incomplete because that is all of the information we have.  Most of the lists were generated from photcopies of the microfilm or original, and many pages contain only partial records at the top or bottom.  Again, there are no intentions to complete these entries.
3. The name spellings are kept the same as in the original, as best as could be determined.  Even where it is obvious that the same individual or surname is intended.  For example, for Margaretha and Margretha, or Schmitt and Schmidt, both variant spellings are used.
4. In the few cases where well known abbreviations are used for a name, such as Joh. for Johann, the full name is written out.
5. We strongly encourage all interested researchers to view the original  information on microfilm.  Besides this always being the preferred practice, some records contain a wealth of genealogical information that does not appear in the lists.  (For examples see the Betschdorf transcriptions.)
