FREE Flyer: Downloadable PDF Flyers - German Immigrants in American Church Records No Charge - Immediately downloadable flyer. Dr. Minert and a team of researchers at BYU are currently involved in a project wherein they read and extract German American vital records from historic local church vital records. These church records often pinpoint German origins in the "old country." Places and dates of birth, marriage, and previous residence in Germany are commonly found in these records. Dr. Minert estimates that over 65 percent of historic local church records give an immigrant's exact place of birth. Entries found in the volumes include people born in Austria. Luxembourg and Switzerland. Volumes with records from 19 states are currently in print. Those states are: Arkansas Vol 38 Illinois Vol 10, 11, 12, & 13 Indiana Vol 1A, 1B & 41 Iowa Vol 7, 8 & 9 Kansas Vol 38 Kentucky Vol 34, 35, 36 & 37 Louisiana Vol 38 Michigan Vol 15, 16 & 17 Minnesota Vol 18 Missouri Vol 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 & 25 Nebraska Vol 6 North Dakota Vol 18 Ohio Vol 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32 & 33 Oklahoma Vol 38 Pennsylvania Vol 47 & 48 South Dakota Vol 18 Tennessee Vol 38 Texas Vol 39, 40 & 41 Wisconsin Vol 2, 3, 4, 5, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45 & 46
