I have been promising to make an online transcription of this booklet for about a year now, and though I have yet to transcribe it into searchable text, I have copied every page in the booklet.

It contains, in the last pages starting at page 22, who were active members in the church at the time of 1989, and then on through the history of all of the chruch's baptisms, confirmations, marriages and funerals.

The images to the curch booklet start here:

At the bottom of each image, there is a link to move forward or backward through the images.

The website where all of these images are hosted:

This church had an altar that was made by my great great great grandfather, Carl Schulz, and you will find a reference to him and the altar in the booklet.

This church was sold, is now a house, and I would love to know what happened to the altar that my g-g-g-grandfather made.

I was there in 1989 with my parents and have pictures of the altar in colour:
