Details from the records of Pilgrim German Lutheran Church

Involving the Kimmel, Myers, Essex and Evans families

(Only records prior to 1815)

This comes from a microfilmed copy of the work as copied in 1965 by the Rachel Caldwell Chapter of the NSDAR of Greensboro, NC.  Records were made available then through the Committee on Historical Work, NC Synod of The Lutheran Church in America.  The microfilmed copy this comes from is in the North Carolina microfilm collection in the genealogy department of the Allen County Public Library in Fort Wayne, Indiana.  The page numbers are of the publication itself and not of the original church document.  The few comments given are from the compilers and not mine.  (-tkimmel)
