Index of Immanuel Lutheran Church Baptisms
1870-1893: W – Z

Special Collections wishes to express appreciation to Concordia Historical Institute and Immanuel Lutheran Church for granting permission to publish this index,
and to Dennis Dean Barten, M.Ed. for his proofreading assistance.

This name index was created by the staff of the Special Collections Department. The 2,100+ entries are listed alphabetically by surname, then given name. Photocopies of these baptismal entries are available from Special Collections.

Immanuel Lutheran Church is the second oldest Lutheran congregation in St. Louis, with Trinity Lutheran being the first. Immanuel Lutheran was formed out of Trinity Lutheran and dedicated in 1848 at its original location, Eleventh Street and Franklin Avenue. It was an important church in the growing German community. The baptisms indexed here cover the years 1870–1893 and may give quite detailed information in German, sometimes including the towns of origin of the parents and occupations. They are arranged chronologically by the baptismal date with some baptismal years interrupted by marriages, deaths and confirmations, but picking up again afterwards. The column headings on each page are as follows:

No. (Number): Order in which the baptism was done. Baptisms are numbered each year, beginning with the number one and continuing through the rest of the calendar year.

Geburt (Birth): Actual date of birth. In most cases it is close to the date of baptism, but in some cases they may be years apart.

Taufe (Baptism): Date that the baptism was performed.

Name (Name): First and middle names of the child.

Vater (Father): Father’s first name and surname.

Mutter (Mother): Mother’s first name and maiden name.

Pathen (Godparents): The names of the godparents are listed here.

Locating a Baptism
To locate a baptism one needs only the year and number of the baptism (listed as order # in column 3). It is not uncommon to find spelling inconsistencies so checking surname variants is advised.

Examples of letters that are used interchangeably in German:
	p used for b	t used for th	y used for i
	t used for d or dt	ä used for ae	g used for k
	s used for z	ö used for oe
	ck or c used for k	ü used for ue
