SPECIAL ORDER ITEM Dr. Minert and a team of researchers at BYU are currently involved in a project wherein they read and extract Americans' German vital records from historic local church vital records. These church records often pinpoint German origins in the "old country." Places and dates of birth, marriage, and previous residence in Germany are commonly found in these records. Dr. Minert estimates that 65-76 percent of historic local church records give an immigrant's exact place of birth. Entries found in the volumes include people born in Switzerland. A 4,825 surname Index, compiled from 16,239 entries, is contained in this book. Typical entries from the Immanuel Lutheran Church Seymour, Jackson Co., Indiana are as follows: Heinrich A. Meyer b. Stemshorn, Hannover 19 Dec 1846; d. Seymour, IN 30 Oct 1890; bur. Seymour 1 Nov 1890. Ref: p. 283. Sophia Charlotte Meyer b. Hannover (province) 28 Feb 1816; d. Seymour, IN 30 Dec 1891; bur.
