It is a beautiful church. It is a shame that they are not more cooperative.
They will tell you that most of the old records were destroyed in a water damage, but, the original "big old book" survives. It lists per alphabet, per family name, per person.
St. Michael's in Mariners Harbor started keeping records in 1905 on. I have found that some of my St. Mary's parishioners married in St. Michael's. They are very helpful and will look up records for you via telephone.

ST. MARY'S ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH
This parish and congregation was organized by Archbishop HUGHES in October. 1852, and Rev. J. LEWIS was appointed the pastor. Immediately after his appointment, Father LEWIS erected a temporary chapel and schools at a cost of about $6,000 which were used for five years.
In 1857, Archbishop HUGHES laid the corner stone of St. Mary's church on New York avenue, and the edifice was completed for "http://richmond.nygenweb.net/ year at a cost of $58,000. it is the finest Catholic church on Staten Island. In 1858 and 1859 the rectory adjoining the church was built, costing $10,000.
Father LEWIS in 1862 purchased seven acres of land of the PARKINSON estate in Southfield, and laid it out as a cemetery. He also build upon it a neat cottage for the keeper's residence.
In 1864 an ORPHAN ASYLUM for the parish, a residence for the Sisters of Charity, a large school and a dwelling for the male teachers were built at a cost of about $36,000.
These schools are of the largest on the Island. The books show a daily attendance of nearly four hundred pupils
who are gratuitously instructed by six Sisters of Charity, under the supervision of the pastor.

"The German Evangelical Church at Stapleton was incorporated February 17, 1857; the trustees were: Andrew Wohlrabe, Ernest F. Kortum, and Henry Uhrsbrach. Pastor Christian Hennicke had, during 1856, succeeded in organizing a congregation and was the first pastor. Services were suspended from October, 1867, to January 30, 1859, when Pastor K. Goehrling accepted a call and remained until October, 1869. In 1862 the board of trustees was reorganized with P. W. Caesar, Louis De Jonge, Julius De Jonge, D. Bauer, Carl Franke, F. Lenting, William Houff, C. Winzer, and Mr. Uhrsbrach. On February 5, 1865, Mr. De Jonge reported the acquisition, in part by the gift of Albin Warth, of land on which to build a church. The pastors have been:
Among the family names connected with this church have been Lindemann, Meurer, Zentgraff, Siemer, Bardes, Stake, Schaefer, Wedemeyer, Wolf, Francke, Hagedorn, Herpich, Horrmann, Matthius, Schmidt, Zorn, Pape, Schaible and many more.
The growth of this church under the ministry of Pastor Frederic Sutter since 1907 has been remarkable; it is said to have 3,000 baptized members and 1,100 communing members, perhaps the largest Protestant membership on Staten Island. The present edifice, an imposing Gothic structure of yellow brick on Beach Street, was dedicated in 1914. The parish house contains classrooms, auditorium, gymnasium, bowling alleys, etc., virtually a community house for the members of the church. The parsonage, built in 1922, brings the value of the church property close to $300,000.
Among Pastor Sutter's aids in this great church, which is soon to change its name to Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church, are H. Fry, Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Meurer, Mr. and Mrs. John Hagen, Carl Lorey, Charles Schaeffer, Dr. Fred Bock, and C. C. Stoughton."
N.B.: 1. In line 5, "were suspended from October, 1867, to January 30, 1859,"
is how this appears in the book.
2. Pastor Sutter is listed as being the Pastor from
1907 to date --take into account that this was printed in 1929.
Some of its records are transcribed at Kirchenbuch/. Kirchenbuch is the German word for church book. Church books, or Kirchenbücher, are a Church's register of births, communions, confirmations, marriages, and deaths.

Trinity was founded in October of 1856 by a group of German immigrants
that felt a church was needed in the Stapleton area of Staten Island to
serve their needs. The congregation met in Kingsley Methodist Church,
located nearby on Cebra Avenue for eight years. In February of 1865 the
congregation acquired four building lots at the corner of Beach Street
and, what is now, St. Paul’s Avenue. Shortly thereafter the Unitarian
Church building on Richmond Turnpike was purchased and moved to the lots
owned by the congregation. That building, pictured here, served the
needs of Trinity until 1913.
In 1907, Trinity called as its pastor The Reverend Dr. Frederic Sutter. Shortly after the arrival of Pastor Sutter the church felt a need for a new church building. The new, and present, structure was commenced in 1913 and dedicated the "http://richmond.nygenweb.net/ year. The gothic structure features a number of interesting appointments. There are gargoyles near the top of the tower. The large stained glass windows in the sanctuary were made in Munich, Germany, by the Mayer Company. The Ascension painting over the altar, was done by a young French painter who painted it at the nearby German Club because that structure had the highest ceiling on Staten Island. Added in 1954 was the 53 rank organ manufactured by the firm of Cassavant Freres, Vancouver, BC.
Pastor Frederic Sutter was succeeded by his son, Carl, in 1964. One of Pastor Carl’s earliest and most important accomplishments was the completion of the new building for Trinity Lutheran School in 1964. Serving more than 200 students, Trinity Lutheran School not only serves children of the congregation, but of the entire community. The School has become a significant legacy of Pastor Carl and his commitment to Stapleton.
No longer a neighborhood of all German immigrants working in the local breweries, Stapleton became a home for people from all over the world and from all walks of life. The Reverend Dr. Thomas F. Mugavero, who was called to Trinity in 1979, led the congregation as it followed these changes and continued to welcome all. As it was when it was founded, Trinity today is a mirror of the community in which it resides - descendants of those same immigrants who founded the church, political and religious refugees from Liberia and other African countries, Native American, and more, all take an active part in and enrich the ongoing ministry of Trinity.
These few paragraphs tell something of the history of the church, but is hardly the true history of the congregation. It says nothing of the outreach to the community through the church’s soup kitchen, emergency food shelf, and participation in community organizations. Nor does it speak of the wonderful tradition of liturgy and music of the church, led in worship by its various choirs. These things are a part of the past, present and future - the living History and Records and mission of the congregation of Trinity Lutheran Church. Trinity has again, for only the fourth time in 100 years, chosen a new Pastor - The Reverend Richard F. Michael. Pastor Michael began his service at Trinity in February of 2001 and leads us into the 21st century as a growing, thriving, almost 150 year old, diverse part of the family of God. Come experience our history and experience the ministry of Trinity - Where God’s grace is shared.
