[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Missouri Synod Record Books

[Jennifer K. Walker]

My distant cousin did some research on our 2nd great grandfather who was one
of the first Missouri Synod Pastors in the US.  She was able to get church
records from the Concordia Historical Institute.  I can only assume that
they would have records for Canada as well.  Their address is 801 De Mun,
St. Louis, Missouri 63105.  If not, then there must be a similar Concordia
or other named institution in Canada that could provide information.

 

I hope this helps!

Does anyone have access to Missouri Synod record books?

 

My great aunt's husband was a pastor in plains churches, I think
Saskatchewan, maybe Alberta, maybe both, probably Missouri Synod.

Years probably about 1900 - 1934. I have a photo of a church

(interior) and of some parishoners, and would like to know where they are
from.

The pastor's name was George STAMM.

 

Thanks  -
