I have three birth/baptism records from Zion
(photocopies from pages of the church registers,
searched at the ELCA Archives in Germantown)
from 1844-1851, all of which give father's name,
mother's given name (none on the pages I searched
had the mother's surname), name of child, dates of
birth and baptism, and sponsor(s).
