| Geissenhainer Baptismal entry -- Mid-Atlantic Germanic Society (MAGS) database entry |
From a post by Dick Eastman (Eastman’s Online
Genealogy Newsletter), I learned of a neat database created by the Mid-Atlantic
Germanic Society (MAGS), Geissenhainer Pastoral Records Database Completed.
This database gives wonderful insight into a couple of Lutheran Churches
in New York City , St. Matthew’s and St. Paul
The Geissenhainer database contains 1,180 confirmation records; 5,663
marriages; and 11,698 baptisms, for a total of over 18,000 records. There are
almost 52,000 unique names contained in the index.
Having just discovered this database, my insatiable curiosity wondered
what other treasures the MAGS website might reveal. The MAGS database contains much more than the Geissenhainer Records.
The other record types found in the database include – Bremen
Overseas military pensions, Philadelphia
naturalizations, and Wiesbaden
Nonmembers are limited to accessing the Geissenhainer Records and the
names for the remaining sources. To see
additional details for the latter, one must be a MAGS member.
As always, remember when you learn about a new database or record group,
to further explore and see if there are other records that might also have
relevance. In this case, there are many
records related to researching Germans who migrated to the mid Atlantic and nearby areas – maybe your family is
included.
