There's been a church merger in the years since then and a bit of a name change, but "Methodist Episcopal" in the old days, or "Methodist Episcopal South" for churches in more southernly states, almost always equates with United Methodist now. In the Chicago area, I'd bet that almost any church you find that calls itself "Methodist" today will have been ME back then, if it's been around long enough. --pig On 12/4/06 12:10, "MeLani M" <mmaysen@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello List, > How can I find out if there were many (or any?)
