About Church Records and Registers

About Church Records and Registers

The Church Registers include meeting minutes of Church Conferences and Quarterly Conferences, Account Books, and Membership Registers of closed churches with some Sunday School and Women's Group Member lists.  Each series is arranged alphabetically by church or charge name and then chronologically.  This collection represents a prime source for local church history and genealogy.

A small series of Church Records arranged alphabetically per church, includes property papers, reports, lists of members, etc.

The collection is incomplete. Such registers and records are usually kept in the churches or in the hands of one of their members.
