Baptism Records of St. James Lutheran ("Straw")
Church Greenwich, Warren County 1812 - 1819
I used two transcripts of this list of baptisms. The first
was from the Genealogical Magazine of New Jersey. The second does
not give information about the transcriber. Italicized information
in brackets is from the second source where it differs from the first.
I have not seen the originals, nor can I make any judgment on which transcription
is correct.
Special thanks to Al Hosbach
and Marilyn Souders for sending me these documents for inclusion on my
web site.
