Red River Valley Conference - Microfilm Index
Contained here is a listing of towns and congregations of the Red River Valley Conference of the Augustana Lutheran Church. This index serves as a tool to begin accessing 77 microfilm reels of church records.
These records are fantastic resources for genealogists and those seeking to learn more about local churches. Generally, information includes meeting minutes and various ministerial acts such as baptisms, confirmations, marriages, reception and dismissal of members, and funerals.
Red River Valley Conference churches were located in Minnesota and North Dakota. The list is organized alphabetically by state, then county, and then city/town. Dates vary by congregation.

Pin icons mark the general locations of church congregations that were part of the ethnically Swedish Red River Valley Conference (marked in brown) and the Lutheran Minnesota Conference (marked in blue) of the Augustana Synod. For those churches listed, we hold microfilm records typically covering birth, baptism, marriage, and death events from the late 1800s through about 1930. Yellow church pins are for Minnesota Conference congregations not included in the microfilm project.
Please contact the College and Lutheran Church Archives at Gustavus Adolphus College for additional information.
