Christine: You're correct, Seamen's Union Bethel no longer exists and it was (as of its demise) associated with the Methodist Church. The Methodist Archive at Lovely Lane in Baltimore unfortunately has no church registers belonging to this congregation. Despite it's name, it seems to have served as a community church as well as a Seamen's church. To my knowledge, no records have survived.

(Seaman's Union Bethel Church at the corner of Bethel and Aliceanna in Baltimore City - I don't think it exists anymore) More specifically, are there any records available? I've searched the MD State Archives Church records list, the MD Historical society library catalog, and the Family History Library catalog. I'm not sure if there are other places I should be searching. I've figured out that this is a Methodist Episcopal Church (I think). So far I've only been researching in Lutheran Churches (I'm very German), so I don't know what other resources are out there for Methodist Episcopal. Thanks Christine
