Description
Zion Lutheran Church in Belleville began in 1861 when a number of families became dissatisfied with temporal affairs of the United Evangelical church. These records name the parents and sponsors for a baptized child, dates of birth, baptism, confirmation, marriage, and death, residences of the bride and groom, cause of death and where buried. Some earlier records of these families might be found in other Belleville congregations, for example, St. Paul United Church of Christ (Belleville).
