83.  Ruth Creech - May 2001, Transcription of Selected Records of the German Evangelical Church of Birmingham, "Electronic," Selected membership lists from the German Evangelical Church of Birmingham - now Birmingham United Church of ChristTaken from: Microfilm 77:30 b Pt 1 found at the AIS in 1990 which I have recently transcribed. AIS is now located in Pitt's Archives Service Center (ASC) at 400 N. Lexington Ave, which is about 2 blocks to the left off Penn Avenue in Point Breeze, on your way from East Liberty towards Wilkinsburg; very definitely in the East End of Pgh.At that time, I copied selected pages of interest to me. I do not have a complete copy of all pages on the microfilm. I wish I did. I thought some of these lists would be helpful to others in their research.The lists are as follows:a) Pastor Gustav Lorch prepared a list of early church members when he prepared his booklet commemorating the church's 50th anniversary in 1896.b) His booklet also contained a list of all members in good standing as of 1896.c) I also copied 2 pages of signatures which I have tried to decipher (no date indicated on the copy but my notes indicated they may be "early members")d) In addition, there were several typewritten lists contained on this microfilm. I have no idea who compiled these lists or when. I would use this lists (including my transcriptions) with caution as they were translated from German script and may have errors. I would always refer to the original microfilmed copy at AIS for any needed clarification. These lists also contain sporadic instances of anglicized spellings for some names (ie. "Jakob" to "Jacob," "Johann" to "John," etc.)In addition, there is quite a bit of duplication in these lists. I have included all entries, as written, so no names would be left out. I hope you will find these transcriptions helpful. Transcribed May 2001 by Ruth Creech dcreech1@nc.rr.com .
