Jeffersontown, Kentucky Lutheran Church Records
A few years ago, I stumbled upon digitized church records of the Jeffersontown, Kentucky Lutheran Church. They had apparently been filmed by FamilySearch years prior. I found a baptismal record and attached it to a family member. I went in today to view that record again and it's gone off the person page. I did a search for those records in the catalogue and all I'm now finding is a book by Virginia Vance Lovett titled, "1818-1885 record of the Jeffersontown Lutheran Church/ transcribed, compiled, and edited by Virginia Vance Lovett" I'm getting older and sometimes my memory is hazy, but I'm fairly certain in this instance what I viewed initially was a record itself and not a compiled book. Does anyone know if these records were removed from FamilySearch? I've not encountered records being removed before and didn't know if anyone had special knowledge of this particular collection. Thank you!

@Kentucky1792 The christening was added before the creation of Family Tree so no way to know what happened. You may want to try to access the book to see if that exact information is found there.

@Kentucky1792 I am unable to verify that there were ever any actual church records for Jefferstown Lutheran churches in FamilySearch collections. Do you have any baptismal, marriage, or burial data for your ancestor that was obtained from this source?

Yes, there was a baptismal record attached. The person ID # is: 975Z-N2Y. All that remains on this person record now is the baptismal date. Like I said in my first message, while I'm getting older and sometimes my memory fades on things, I'm pretty certain a record was attached, which is now gone. Only the baptismal date is noted now. I just found it odd as I've never seen a record disappear off FamilySearch before. It does appear there may have been merges to this person ID. Any info you can share would be kindly welcomed. I guess it's possible I'm confused and the person who added the baptismal record obtained it from the book referenced above, but I'm pretty sure I saw an actual record attached previously.
