A Listing of our Holdings of Church and Association Records
Please help us find records for all states
If you have old church records, or know someone who does, please let us know. We would like to be able to at least make copies for our research.
We are trying to preserve church records for all parts of the United States. There are several thousand records which we lack in our library collection. Some are in other libraries, where we can obtain copies. Others are in private hands, and should be copied. No doubt many have been destroyed, and are gone forever. Please help us if you can.
Our Present Holdings of Church Records include the following:
