Missouri Synod, U.S., Lutheran Church records, 1851-1973

Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): supports, confidence 4/4, tier record.
Entry no. 37 on the image gives Clarence Eduard Louis, born 24 January 1909, baptized 28 March 1909, to Albert Chill and Ottilie geb. Bieging. This matches the claim on name, both dates and both parents. The record also supports the January 1909 birth over the roughly August 1908 date implied by the 1910 census age, which the research note questions. The church and place are not visible on this page.
Matches: Entry no. 37 in the 1909 Tauf-Register reads Clarence Eduard Louis, matching the full name Clarence Eduard Louis Chill; Birth date 24 Jan 1909 ("24. Januar 1909") matches the claimed birth date; Baptism date 28 März 1909 ("28. Maerz 1909") matches the claimed baptism date; Parents are given as Albert Chill and Ottilie geb. Bieging, matching father Albert Chill and mother Ottilie Bieging; Sponsors are listed as Albert Chill, Louis Hegert and Mina Desens; the claim does not mention sponsors, so this is extra detail; Image is an original register page, readable at this entry
Limits: The page does not name the church. The claim of St Matthew, Chicago, rests on the citation and note, not on this page.; The register does not show the Synod record numbers (62265/237285) cited in the note.; The Cook County birth record and the 1910 census age tension raised in the note are not addressed by this record.; Surname spelling in the image is slightly ambiguous (Chill), but it fits the claim.; The entry has a cross-out mark at the officiant column, which is probably an administrative note and has no bearing on the claim.
