Outstanding! Always learn something new. Thanks
Very interesting. I learned a lot.
it was interesting
Lots of good guidance as where to look for family church history. Thank you.
Appreciated the 1775 and 1926 religion affiliation with ethnicities most likely associated with the religion. SO much information shared that will help in the search for answers! Can't wait to see if husband's relative is listed in the ourfamtree index for ministers in Nebraska--had hit a deadend! We're still fairly new to all of this and oral family history was totally blown apart after DNA testing. A bit more information will be sought regarding ARCHIVEGRID and how it can be used also.
Terrific, my ancestors are largely Canadian or European. But the clues can help with other areas of the world.
Very good overview on how to find church records.
I have new ideas of resources to view. Thank you Sunny!
