Have you contacted the churches to take a look at their church records? I was given access to the church minutes for two of the churches my ancestors attended, transcribed the minutes and posted them online. I was thrilled to find in the church minutes Resolutions written in honor of my ancestors who had passed away, ancestors who had to acknowledge non-attendance, the fact that some were charter members and the dates when they joined the church, etc. It's well worth the effort to learn if the churches have minutes dating back to the when the church was started. You may find some interesting details about your family members.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-91695422693524276672012-05-19T23:16:30.411-04:002012-05-19T23:16:30.411-04:00I did not know that the United Methodists came fro...I did not know that the United Methodists came from those two churches.

Somebody will be Googling one of the early churches and will come across your link and say, hey, I didn't know that they merged or have been there for so long! How wonderful that your family has been so involved with these churches over the years also. <br /><br />When I was involved in church in the 90's we all looked forward to our Wednesday night dinners.<br /><br />It still tickles me though, to think that they would have to say that their church was located near Naked Creek.<br /><br />Kathy M.Oregon Gifts of Comfort and Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07171271956883698673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-60331657380483612082012-05-19T09:38:51.522-04:002012-05-19T09:38:51.522-04:00A remarkable series of photographs full of social ...A remarkable series of photographs full of social history.
