Background Information

St. John Evangelical Lutheran Church of Rodenberg (Roselle), Illinois, was founded in 1851 as a daughter congregation of the St. Peter Lutheran Congregation in Schaumburg, Illinois, which itself was founded in 1846 in Sarah's Grove. The charter members of the new St. John Rodenberg congregation were: Christoph Steffen, Heinrich Hasemann, Friedrich Heinze, Heinrich Mensching, Christopher Ackmann, Conrad Dralle and Conrad Geistfeld. 

The baptism, confirmation, and marriage records were retyped and alphabetized from a mimeographed typed extraction of the early church records which it is believed was prepared in connection with the Centenial Celebration of the Church in 1951.
