Holy Ghost German Evangelical Church Marriages, 1834–1844
Holy Ghost was the first German Protestant Evangelical Church in St. Louis. The original church members included Lutheran and Reformed denominations. In 1843, some members formed two new churches, St. Peters and St. Marks.
The Holy Ghost marriage records do not include the name of the parents of the bride and groom. The record does include the name of the city or village where the bride and groom were born.
St. Louis Genealogical Society microfilmed these records many years ago. The film is available at the StLGS office or at St. Louis County Library. Would you like StLGS to make a photocopy of the microfilmed record? StLGS Research Request.
Maryhelen Wilson transcribed and contributed this information for publication starting in the 1986 St. Louis Genealogical Society Quarterly, volume 19, number 1, pages 1–6. The series continues through volume 21, number 1, pages 7–10.
