Ebenezer Record Book 1754-1781. Births Baptisms Marriages and Burials of Jerusalem Evangelical Lutheran Church of Effingham Georgia More Commonly

Taken from a register begun in 1754 these records report the births baptisms marriages and deaths in the congregation of Jerusalem Church at Ebenezer a church founded by religious exiles from Salzburg Austria who settled in Georgia. The previous edition of the register upon which this work is based proved to be so deficient in matters relating to the deciphering of names that Prof. Jones and Ms. Exley determined on a new translation. Gone now are the mis-readings of surnames the Anglicization of given names and the spurious families mistakenly created in the earlier edition. As a bonus Jones and Exley have inserted the identity of the Salzburger's German town of origin where known and added a Genealogical Index in excess of 3500 names.
