23. RuthCreech - May 2001, Transcription of Selected Records of the GermanEvangelical Church of Birmingham, "Electronic," Selectedmembership lists from the German Evangelical Church of Birmingham - nowBirmingham United Church of ChristTaken from: Microfilm 77:30 b Pt 1 found atthe AIS in 1990 which I have recently transcribed. AIS is now located in Pitt'sArchives Service Center (ASC) at 400 N. Lexington Ave, which is about 2 blocksto the left off Penn Avenue in Point Breeze, on your way from East Libertytowards Wilkinsburg; very definitely in the East End of Pgh.At that time, Icopied selected pages of interest to me. I do not have a complete copy of allpages on the microfilm. I wish I did. I thought some of these lists would behelpful to others in their research.The lists are as follows:a) Pastor GustavLorch prepared a list of early church members when he prepared his bookletcommemorating the church's 50th anniversary in 1896.b) His booklet alsocontained a list of all members in good standing as of 1896.c) I also copied 2pages of signatures which I have tried to decipher (no date indicated on thecopy but my notes indicated they may be "early members")d) Inaddition, there were several typewritten lists contained on this microfilm. Ihave no idea who compiled these lists or when. I would use this lists(including my transcriptions) with caution as they were translated from Germanscript and may have errors. I would always refer to the original microfilmedcopy at AIS for any needed clarification. These lists also contain sporadicinstances of anglicized spellings for some names (ie. "Jakob" to"Jacob," "Johann" to "John," etc.)In addition,there is quite a bit of duplication in these lists. I have included all entries,as written, so no names would be left out. I hope you will find thesetranscriptions helpful. Transcribed May 2001 by Ruth Creech [email protected].

Bernard Funk and Charlotte Maria Homann Funk of the South Side inPittsburgh were my great-grandparents. Two of their four children survived to adulthood-- my dear great-uncle,Otto Bernard Gustav Funk, who was born May 17, 1885, and died November 25, 1963, and my grandmother, Clara DorotheaFunk Stamm, who was born June 25, 1888, and died September 16, 1982. Clara married Albert Frederick Stamm in May1913 and was widowed in May 1917, four months before my father, William AlbertStamm, was born on September 4, 1917. Irecall from long talks with my grandmother (Clara) that Charlotte Homann Funkwas born February 10, 1863, in Pittsburgh, and died February 10, 1933, herseventieth birthday. Charlotte had twomaiden sisters, Emma and Dora Homann, who were born and died in Pittsburgh. (Anumber of siblings died in childhood.) I seem to recall that the Homanns ownedan ice cream parlor on the South Side. Charlotte's mother was Dorothea Manckedinck (spelling??), who immigratedto the Pittsburgh area from Minden, Germany. I know that Charlotte, Clara, Otto, my father, and my sister Janet StammDalLago are buried in the same plot at South Side Cemetery, and the Homannfamily has a mausoleum there. I knowvery little about the Funk side of the family, and was quite interested tolearn that Bernard Funk had a half-brother August who served in the CivilWar. I would be most interested insharing my information concerning the Homanns and Stamms with you and inlearning as much as possible from you concerning the Funks and otherdescendants, especially any information you may have concerning their roots inGermany. I look forward to hearingfrom you soon. Sincerely, Sally StammStauffer.
