Baptism Records of St. James Lutheran ("Straw") Church
Greenwich, Warren County
1799 - 1811

I used two transcripts of this list of baptisms. The first was from the Genealogical Magazine of New Jersey. The second does not give information about the transcriber. Italicized information in brackets is from the second source where it differs from the first. I have not seen the originals, nor can I make any judgment on which transcription is correct.

Special thanks to Al Hosbach and Marilyn Souders for sending me these documents for inclusion on my web site.
