   Thank you; do you have a church address and does this church building still exist today? What about the cemetery? I wonder if the above Sus/Suess families are buried here. Must have went to Bindnagle Church later to help start.

   thanks,
   Annette

      I don’t have an address. The church and it’s cemetery are located in Brickerville on route 322 (E 28th Division Highway) at Hershey Road. Google has Brickerville United Lutheran church at 340 East 28th Division Highway, Lititz, Pennsylvania. Based on the placement of their dots, it may be the same church.

   Is this Emanuel Lutheran Church different than the Bindnagle’s Lutheran Church near Palmyra in Lebanon Co? Interested in any Sus/Suess/Seess/Sees (SEASE today) records.

   Thank you.
