Thanks for that info & link. I was getting stymied by the Evangelical or Evangelical reformed difference, but I may also search for churches of both denominations & see what comes up. I may also google Trinity Resources Unlimited & see if they know who the former property owners or residents are & what might have happened to them. Thanks again to everyone who has replied about finding the church. Judy On Sat, Oct 8, 2011 at 10:44 AM, Kay B <kayb48@yahoo.com> wrote: > Dear Judy, > Ah, Lotus not Loftus. That makes more sense.
