In connection with research on the family of my Great Grandparents Johann and Johanna (Kunstmann) Wascher, who immigrated to northern Illinois from Kreis Demmin in Prussian Pomerania in 1868 and came to Champaign in 1872, I have found it of great value to examine closely the old church records of the St. Peters German United Evangelical Church in Champaign. These are available on microfilm at The Archives in Urbana, or may be obtained on loan from Salt Lake City through LDS Branch Family History Centers as Film No. 102-53-27.

The St. Peters Church records consist of three books giving birth and baptism, confirmation, marriage, and death and burial information from late 1865 up through about 1943. These records are a genealogical goldmine for a portion of the immigrant German Protestant population of Champaign County of the late 1800's as two of the early pastors, Julius Schumm (1865-1869) and Heinrich Strehlow (1874-1896), displayed a true feeling for history and genealogy in keeping the records.

Numerous names of parents, birth dates and birthplaces are given in connection with many of the pre-1900 confirmations, marriages and burials. Also brief family history and immigration summaries are given at the end of Book One of the records, scattered among pre-1900 burial records and given for 25th wedding anniversaries among the pre-1900 marriage records for many of the early immigrant families in the congregation.

Although the records are well preserved and in most places the handwriting is clear and the ink has not faded severely, there are still several problems connected with using the old St. Peters Church records for genealogical research. First, they are written entirely in German. Second, in most places they are written using the Old Style German Script. Also, as indicated by the numbers of xxx's on the pages for signing the Church Constitution, many of the early members of the congregation were illiterate.

Thus, names of persons and places were just written phonetically by the pastors and change in different places in the records. Examples of problems with spellings of personal names are: Kober vs Kobel, Demmler vs Demlow, Zentner vs Centner, Kastorff vs Castorf, Darntorf vs Dorntorf, Melahn vs Malahn, Volman vs Vollmann, etc.

For the area of Prussian Pomerania in which I am most interested, some place name spelling problems appear to be: Elmhurst vs Elmenhorst, Muckenwalde vs Muggenwalde, Eichsen vs Eixen, Torpien vs Torpin, Kishbangendorf vs Kirchbaggendorf, Printzow vs Pritzenow, etc.

Because of my own special interest in the immigrants among our ancestors, and more specifically my interest in knowing whether my Great Grandfather Johann Wascher came to Champaign because of his job with the railroad or because he had friends and possibly relatives from Pomerania who had immigrated earlier to Champaign County, I have gathered the collection of family history and immigration summaries for about 80 of the 1865-1870 members of the St. Peters Congregation which follow. Most of the information contained comes from the family summaries given at the end of Book One of the Church Records. However, this data is supplemented in some cases by information found among the marriage and death records.

Please note that the information contained in these summaries may not be complete; other information is also likely to be obtained by careful research in the Church Records. Also, the quality of the information in the summaries is limited by the writer's own abilities to read the Old Style German Script and by the phonetic spelling problems mention earlier. Thus, researchers are encouraged to doublecheck individual items personally.

In most cases I have retained the spelling used by the pastors except that I have not included any umlauts. However, in several cases where spellings differed in different places, I have chosen the one which seemed to me to be the most likely.

It is of interest to note from the summaries that most of the St. Peters members listed immigrated after 1850, and on the average were about 25 to 30 years old when they came. In considering the locations in Germany where they were born which, from looking at the birthplaces of their children, were also near where they lived before immigrating, it is seen that approximately two-thirds were from Prussian Pomerania (Demmim-Stettin, Grimmen-Stralsund), Brandenburg, Mecklenberg or Schleswig-Holstein in Northern Germany, and one-third were from Bavaria, Baden or Wurtemburg in Southern Germany.

Of special interest to me is the fact that close to 45% of the total early members of St. Peters Church came from a 20 mile square area of Western Pomerania centered by the city of Loitz and bordered by the cities of Demmin, Treptow, Gulzow, Greifswald, Stralsund, Richtenberg, and Tribsees. This area (which was in the Neubrandenburg District of the German Democratic Republic [1945-1991] and is now in Mecklenberg-Vorpommern) which also includes the towns of Teusin and Uckeritz where my Wascher Great Grandparents were born, lies near the Baltic Sea Coast and the Island of Rugen. It is also close to the infamous Peenemunde WW II German rocket research site.
