Notes
Fr. Birau was the pastor of both the Holy Cross Orthodox Church in Omaha and SS Peter and Paul Orthodox Church in St. Joseph in the 1930s. Both churches may have been united under a single parish
Bishop Policarp Morusca was the Bishop for the Romanian Orthodox Episcopate for the entire country during the 1930s. He visited St. Joseph in 1935.
Details about the local Romanian Orthodox Church are currently being researched and it is believed that any existing records are currently in possession of the OCA Archives, the Valerian D. Trifa Center, or the University of Minnesota.
