I am doing family research & searched for Moravian because my great great grandfather was born in Hope. I'm related to the Brun(n)ers, Hinshaws, Shouses, Romingers, Fischels, Becks, & other families. I like your site & am impressed by the sense of community engendered by Moravians in general. Thans

I am a direct descendant of Freidrich Shore. My Maternal grandmother's birth name was Shore. My family has done a lot of research and has information from the journals kept by the church in Bethania. I came to this website as a result of a search using by browser.

To: Rev. Charles Fishel I'm trying to do some genealogy research on my WHITAKER and PATTERSON ancestors, and one of my cousins (Beverly Susan Booth) married a Gary FISHEL. They live in Winston-Salem and I'm having a hard time in finding out information on the FISHEL line. Then I ran across your website and saw your name as minister, so that's why I'm sending you this E-mail. You also have a nice website, not too busy, which is good. Might you know of other sources of information regarding the FISHEL lines? I've also been to God's Acre and it was a humbling experience. What a beautiful site! My wife's ancestor of VOLCK is buried there. . . just wish there was some way I could help in restoring the headstones to preserve them. Bob Carter Greensboro, NC Thanks very much!

My ancestors Johann Jacob Huth and his son Jacob Hoots lived in the Muddy Creek German settlement near Bethania some time between 1743 and 1762 before moving to the Deep Creek area.

Visited Winston-Salem in 1996. Had a marvelous visit. In doing my family genealogy I learned that my ggggrandfather was living at Bethania when he joined the Revolution. Question Is there a history of the early members? also is there a list of people that is buried in God's Acre? I am planning on coming back in the near future for more research. Peggy M.

My parents were Bill & Edith Crews, and my grandmother was Addie Carmichael Chadwick McDowell, all buried on God's Acre. I have recently developed an interest in my family geneology, but records and facts among the family are sketchy. How would I access m rriage, burial records prior to and including my grandmother? I now live in CT, so hand-on research is a problem. Any info helpful. I love visiting Bethania whenever we come south. I have many fond memories from my childhood, which I hold very dear.

I recently had the opportunity to meet with the pastor and look around the grounds, including God's Acre and the Bethania community. I was quite favorably impressed. I have heard many good things about the church. As a church musician, I am very impres ed by the musical tradition and heritage of the Moravian Church in general and Bethania's in particular. I hope to have the opportunity to attend a worship service soon.

God's Acre is the most beautiful and restful place on earth. At Easter nothing compares to that spot. One not only feels closer to family but also God. The cedars that line the way and shade the graves, whisper in the wind and block out the troubles of the world. It is very peaceful. Thank you for it. Catherine Leinbach

Your website is quite well done. Congratulations to whoever put it together. I am a member at Friedberg which is the community I have lived in all my life. My great grandparents are buried there at Bethania and I have visited your God's acre on many occas ons. Believe it or not, I think that up on that hill is one of the most serene and peaceful spots I know. When I used to work on that side of town, I would go up there to just meditate. God bless you, and keep spreading the Word.

I am a Moravian but because we have had to move so much, we have become active Presbyterians. Hopefully, we will be Moravians again someday. Really enjoy all the Moravian Home pages on the Web.

Congradulations on a great webpage. I think it was well done. I think the internet can be used for allot of good things. I think it could even be used as one of the best ways to communicate fast with your congregation.

I chair the facilitating committee for Mission Carolina, a new prayer network for North and South Carolina. Much of our inspiration comes from Leviticus 6:13, which spoke so powerfully to Count Zinzendorf. We are privileged in NC & SC to have the Moravi n heritage within our borders. Do you know of any Moravian congregations in South Carolina which I could visit and enjoy the fellowship of the Moravians?

My fourth great-grandfather Peter Binkley was an early settler in Bethania and is buried in your God's Acre. Like a previous visitor to your page, I would love to know if it is possible to receive a list of all those buried there. Even though my Binkleys ceased to be Moravian not long after their arrival in Tennessee in the late 18th century, I have tried to introduce my six children to their Moravian heritage. The Disciples of Christ congregation we used to attend had a Love Feas on Christmas Eve. We use the Moravian Star in our Christmas decorations and always have sugar cake for breakfast on Christmas Eve and Christmas morning. Alas, there are no Moravian congregations here in TN.

We found several of my ancestors graves in your cemetery. Hauser & Holder are both in my family ancestor tree. I feel there may be more of my ancestors buried there. Wife and I drove from Cinti. just the view Bethania and Old Salem. We were impressed ith everything we had time to see. Is it possible for me to obtain a list of everyone that's buried in Bethania's God's Acre? Looking forward to you reply. Thank you, Don Holder

I am so happy to see your Church on the Web. I researched my family this past summer and found several of my ancestors buried at Bethania's God's Acre, including Martin Hauser (1761) and Adam Butner. I did not grow up as a Moravian but have always been nterested in them, having grown up in Winston-Salem. I am now a Band Director in South Carolina....it would mean so much to me to be able to join your band for the Easter Sunrise Service. I could play flute or baritone (tc or bc) as needed. Please cont ct me if this would be possible!

I am from Texas, working in Greensboro, NC. Last Sunday, while out driving around, I happened upon the village of Old Salem. It's very impressive in it's neat, quaint appearance. As a Christian I am impressed with people who put their faith into sacrifici l action. I found your web page in a search for more information on the Moravian Church: your creeds, key doctrines, points of faith. If you can refer me to additional information I would appreciate it. Everyone that I encountered in the village was frien ly, courteous, and helpful. God bless you.

I am anxious to visit your area. I believe that two of my distant grandfathers are buried in your cemetery. .They were Leonard Moser who died in 7-17-1782 and Peter Binkley who died 8-10-1793. Can you confirm this information? I am a Methodist who s thrilled with my Graceham, Maryland Moravian roots. Dallas Vogler suggested I contact you. God bless you.

It was very interesting to visit your page and learn something about our Moravian brothers/sisters at Bethania. Incidentally, "we" are among one of your World Mission projects. - The Moravian Institute at Rajpur, India. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Bethania Moravian Church and the Global Concerns Committee for their contribution by helping the children at our Institute and thru the sale of our rugs. All praise and glory to our Lord Jesus Christ!

I really enjoyed you page...I'm not a Moravian (I'm a Methodist ny profession) but I've had a lot of positive experiences with the Moravian Church. I'm impressed with the fact that there's a Liturgy for almost everything, the Lovefeast service, and the s rvice of Holy Communion. I play alto sax with the Salem Band and play with the Oak Grove Church Band whenever I am able. Keep up the good work!
