Brett, I live in Boone and my ancestors were also among the founder of Three Forks...(Hortons and Greers). The old church ruins are still here and the graves of the Hortons are there. The new church is right on 421 as you come into town. If you'd like to email me directly, I will be happy to give you directions to the old site.

Have there been any copies made of the original ten or twenty years of the church's records, and if so, are copies available any place? I recall reading excerpts in articles some time ago and for those with Three Forks roots it would be nice to have copies among our family treasures.
