Hi Jodie,
Zion Lutheran Church is in the village of Manheim (now a borough) in
Rapho Twp. I think Zion's records begin in the 1770s so I don't know if
that will help. If you think the Deitrich's lived in Manheim Twp., then
check Trinity Lutheran Church of Lancaster City. That is were Lutherans
from Manheim Twp. probably would have gone to church. If you think they
were from the borough of Manheim you could check Emmanuel Lutheran Church at
Brickerville, records start in 1742 or there was a Reformed church in Rapho,
I think it was called White Oak that has records that start in 1742.
You could also check to see if Philip Dietrich had a will, maybe he'll
mention his daughter by her married name.

> Hello,
>
> I have returned to the list after a long absence. I have recently been
pursuing another Lancaster Co. line in hopes of connecting with my GGGGM
Mary ------ Lorentz, who lived and died (1831) in Lancaster City. There is
a possibility she was the daughter of Philip DIETRICH of Manheim Township.

Philip Dietrich family.

> Is anyone out there researching this family? Does anyone know anything
about Maria (Mary)? I found that there are LDS films for a Zion Evangelical
Lutheran Church in Manheim (baptisms and marriages). Before I order them
in, thought I would extend this query to see if this sounds at all familiar
to anyone.
