Jean: while I am not as enthusiastic as you are about photographing old churches, I have been doing the same. My basic research takes me to Franklin Co., Pennsylvania, USA. This is the area of early Ulster Scots settlements. They were all Presbyterian Covenanters and quickly established their churches. The originals were all log houses, but as they could afford it they build plain brick churches. Most have cemeteries which is my primary interest. Rocky Spring holds Capt. Alexander Culbertson who fought in the French & Indian war and was later killed in a battle in the same war. Both the church and cemetery date back to 1734 and continued in use until 1934. It is maintained and in very good shape. The same applies to Moss Spring Cemetery where my ancestors are buried, it is maintained by the current Presbyterian Church and the town itself, even the stones have been restored where possible.
