Original records of the UCC Vermillion still exist, and are in the process of being scanned for purposes of preservation and access. The church archivist is also compiling an index of names mentioned in these early records, including members and other people mentioned in meeting minutes, letters of transfer, legal documents and even company names printed on invoices. This index will be expanded as additional records are scanned. Scanned records will be linked to the names as time allows or upon request. Note: names are spelled as they appear in the record cited, with careful scrutiny of handwriting elsewhere on the page for reference. If you are looking for a particular name, you may want to peruse this alphabetical list, rather than use a "search" function. A key to abbreviations and notations appears at the bottom of the list.
