FYI.... ----Original Message Follows---- From: Russell Baker <[email protected]> Reply-To: Russell Baker <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Subject: [ARCHIVES] church related census records Date: Mon, 19 Jul 2004 08:35:53 -0500 Dear Colleagues: Greetings from the sunny South. This question is directed to our colleagues who work long hours for little pay in church and religious archives. I have been invited to lecture at a national genealogical conference this fall on the subject of using church and religious records as sources for genealogy and local history research information. I already have a great deal of information. However, I have been told that many religious denominations in the U. S. have in their archives records of religious or church censuses taken by their church workers in the past. These records are said to contain a gold mine of potential information about 19th century American families. I have not run across such records in my research. If these are some out there, I would love to have some samples of these records to use in my lecture. Thanks for you help. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Russell P.
