Matriky Vital Records
Baptisms, confirmations, marriages, and funerals. Nine documents pairing original Czech ledgers with English transcriptions.
The vital records of Granger Brethren Church span 1910 through 1925, most of them from the personal ledgers of the Rev. Josef Barton, Sr., our first resident pastor. The original Czech volumes and the English transcriptions are both here, with bibliographic notes alongside. Translation work was done by Kelly Zrubek.
