Purpose Statement

  • To recognize the founding members and their families of local Moravian communities and creating a way to identify them on their profiles. As well as provide a space with resources to help those trying to research their ancestors.
  • To identify profiles that are unsourced or unconnected and correctly connect them and give them biographies and proper sources.
  • To create free space pages for each of the six original Moravian settlements. Provide the history and research information for each settlement.
  • To create a list of correct surnames, not all Germans to N.C. were Moravians, and create a list of local cemeteries where most of the early Moravian settlers are buried.

Sylvia, I have that whole book that Debi mentioned below. Plus I have a lot of relatives that were from that area and One name Adam Spach was the preacher and leader for the Moravians there also there were a lot of Romingers and others that I am related to thru my mom's side of the family that married into the Leonards that is my mom's surname Also a lot of them are buried in the Moravian cemetery also. I would like to be the leader for the Moravian Settlement and I could do all three of those tasks that you have listed. I started a free space project labeled Moravian Religious Movement that we could add here. We could be leaders , profile managers to this if it is okay with you. We could maybe get a badge for this also. Here is my link to my G2G with my free space project page: https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/567239/a-new-project-for-moravian-religious-movement-project

Hi Sylvia,

A very long time ago I created an every name index for part of the "Old Salem Official Guidebook." The edition I had was missing the cover and first 13 pages, including the title and copyright page.

If you're interested in the index, I still have the original file. It is currently posted on my rootsweb site at http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~debic/salem.htm

While that book is by no means a primary source, my hope was that a name index could make it more useful when looking for clues.
