This is a transcription from the original church records in German. The first 36 pages are missing.
For years, this resource was mistakenly labeled as being from Lititz in Lancaster County. However, a scan of the names brought this into question. Our genealogist, Kevin Shue, consulted with the librarian at the York County History Center, and the two of them confirmed that the information in this resource is from York County and not from Lititz, PA.
Begun in 1742 and written by successive members of the clergy, vols. 1-50 were originally written in German, vol. 51- are in English. The MS. is in the Archives of the Moravian Church in Bethlehem, Pa.
