Baptisms in the Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church

 Kim reached out to me last week about some Baptism records she wanted for proofs for a supplemental she is preparing papers for for the DAR.  She had found the locked key above the records on Family Search and traveled to the Barboursville library to see if she could access these records in our library.  I was very happy to hear that Family search had sent her to our library.  However, the records still were not accessible from the affiliate library.  So the librarians there gave her my number.

I am always excited to learn something new!  Family Search suggested that the images were available on the Find My Past site.  And indeed they are right there.  These images are held by the Pennsylvania Historical Society who I assume have entered into an agreement with Find My Past.  So below are the images that I found for Kim.  You will have to manipulate them to read as they are too hard to read when I add them to the site in a smaller format.

There was a  third image for the third child born to George Rumbaugh and his wife Anna but I had put it in the trash and it is too hard to figure out.  

But I wanted to add the following for my own information.  Almost certainly these images are from the baptisms in the 

Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church. This church is still located in Elizabethtown, PA as the address on their website is: 75 East High Street, Elizabethtown, PA 17022

Here is a screen shot from my blog that shows that this location makes excellent sense for where George Rumbaugh would have been living in the 1780s 

hmmmmm.....I could not get the screen shot to download to this blog post....I give up.  Here is the URL for the original map from which I took the screenshot.  It is a VERY wonderful map of Lancaster County's Townships.
