Wapwallopen Union Reformed & Lutheran Church (Old River Church)

Baptismal Records 1813 to 1876

Luzerne County, Pennsylvania

 

The original source of this information was a translation of the records of the Old River Church prepared by Paul Hartley and Clark Heller in 1937.  A typed copy of this information was obtained from Caroline Andreas (a longtime resident of Pond Hill, Conyngham Township).  It appears that this is a copy of the same document that was submitted to the LDS Church and placed on microfilm.

 

This data should not be considered a replacement for, but a supplement to, any other translations.  Since the content of the full document is presented here you will find information on people, and from years, that is not available from other sources.  There is also some conflicting information between these records and the records found elsewhere.  The information has been modified in format, but not in content.  No attempt has been made to correct spelling, other errors, or inconsistent information.  Since this was a Union Church, it is not know if the records were Lutheran, Reformed, of a combination of the two.

 

We have sourced this information as follows:

Brown and Susan Fremer, compilers, "Wapwallopen Union Reformed & Lutheran Church (Old River Church), Baptismal Records 1813 to 1876, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania [unpublished]," Copy of original document obtained from Caroline Andreas, Pond Hill, Pennsylvania, from a translation by Paul Hartley and Rev.

******************************

These records have been translated literally as much as possible.  The spelling has been put down as it appears in the record.  Seldom as it may have been intended.  E. Q.   Page 1 contains Henrich Seiss, which likely is Weiss.

 

The writing is in many hands, much of it poor and almost illegible.  A small part of it is very dim.  A few records have not been finished, Page 23 the only names that appeared were Absalom & Catherine Heller.  The name of the child & all dates were missing.  These in the case of Adam Wesley Heller were supplied as to birth.

 

On the baptismal certifacate of A.W. Heller the date of baptism is not given and the name of the minister scarcely legible.  It seems to be Ragbelt.  Most of the English Records were transcribed by Richard E. Heller & myself, July 1940……Clark W. Heller (Richard E. Heller is the son of Rev. Clark Heller)

 

Note:  Some of these corrections were made by Miss Elma C. Bishop who made them from the original Church Book written in German.
