Historic Germanna is excited to announce the newest Germanna Record is now available to add to your genealogy library! Germanna Record 24, Hebron Baptismal Register 1750-1849, provides nearly a century of original source documentation of both birth and baptismal records compiled by the Hebron Lutheran Church in current-day Madison County, Virginia.
The church still serves as a community and religious anchor for the families of German immigrants who had the church built in 1740. The fragile original records cannot be handled by the public but were made available to the editors of this book so their rare genealogical data can be accessed by descendants and the public.
Much of the information was first translated and published by John Blankenbaker in 2003 and is supplemented and enhanced with formatting and commentary by Cathi Clore Frost in this publication that includes photos and translations of the original records.
To get your copy of Germanna Record #24, purchase directly from Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/Hebron…/dp/B0CRGGNC83/ref=sr_1_1…), visit germanna.org/store, or call the Visitor Center at 540-423-1700. Happy reading!
