African-American Baptisms at Gilead Lutheran Church in Brunswick 1777-1879 |
Many thanks to Michelle Mavigliano for transcribing and submitting the information on this page. Michelle adds that there is a strong possibility that this list is incomplete. This information was possible because of the denotation "negro" after each name below; however, use of this term was discontinued after 1800, and all further names contained surnames as well - two factors that make racial distinctions impossible. If you have a surname of a family member who may have been at this church, Michelle has kindly offered to do look-ups for us. Well done, Michelle!
