Focusing on research into the church records of Immanuel Evangelical Lutheran Church, Zion Lutheran Church, and St. Ansgarius Scandinavian Anglican Church, the talk explores the demographic information provided in the church ledgers and discusses the conclusions that can be made about the community at the turn of the century.
