FROM THE HISTORY OF 
THE BERGSTRASSE EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN CHURCH
EPHRATA, PENNSYLVANIA
1752-1977
BY
HENRY SNYDER GEHMAN
FROM CHAPTER 7
NAMES IN THE FIRST HALF OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BEFORE PROCEEDING TO A NEW PERIOD IN THE HISTORY OF THE CONGREGATION, THE NAMES FOUND IN 
THE CHURCH REGISTER DURING THE FIRST HALF OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY IN COMPARISON WITH THOSE 
OF THE PREVIOUS CENTURY REFLECT A CHANGE OF POPULATION AS WELL AS A WIDER OUTREACH OF 
BERGSTRASSE IN THE SPIRITUAL LIFE OF THE COMMUNITY. SUCH A CITATION IS NOT A MERE DRAB LIST, 
BUT IT MAY GIVE AN INSIGHT INTO THE COMMUNITY. IT MAY ALSO BE NOTICED THAT SOME NAMES OF THOSE 
PEOPLE ARE NOT OF GERMAN ORIGIN, BUT THROUGH RESIDENCE IN THE COMMUNITY THEY BECAME 
PENNSYLVANIA GERMANS.
