Don, thank you for your interest. At this point our trustees prefer for our website to stand alone, with the links as we have them, unrelated to any genealogy site, as our primary purpose is really church related research. We wish to maintain control over our database of members names, which is maintained in our computers (with backups) and is constantly being updated, corrected, etc., but we will be glad to try to assist anyone who has ancestors in our churches or thinks they might have. Thanks again.
