The end of November I posted the message, copied below, on the Reno list and have not heard from anyone. Are there many churches in Reno where there might be baptismal records? I know that when they moved to St. Louis they were active in an evangelical Protestant church. Is there a genealogy society in Hutchinson? I surely would appeciate some quick answers from somebody.
