Interesting information about church.
Salem Evangelical (German) Church of New Bielefeld (now known as Black Jack) was organized by Rev. C. H. Schliepsick as the first pastor in 1848. The original log church was completed in 1851, replaced in 1861 by a brick church. The present church was dedicated in 1899.
Data about the church and records curtosy of S. Knighton.
Wonder if New Bielefeld might be clue to former residence of early church members??
B.
Perhaps persuing data on witness', lateral families listed on death certificates might assist in your church.

Hello,
I thought of the same thing as Barbie about Bielefeld being the town
they may have come from. It probably is the case that some people in that
town came from there. The problem is the Warnecke family came from Hannover
and Bielefeld is in Westfalen. The LDS have a lot of records from Bielefeld
if you want to check that out. However, perhaps that would be a shot in the
dark. Warnecke seems to be a rather common name.

Dear Barbara,
Could your search be going to the province of Hannover and not the city of Hannover? I think Westfalen is there.

Hi Ghyll,
I am presuming that Vertrees said his family was from Hannover, the
former Kingdom, not the city of Hannover. In any case, Westfalen bordered
Hannover and was not a part of it. I could be wrong about what Vertrees
meant when he said his Warnecke was from Hannover.
