Where are the Hopewell Baptist Church records? The input was greatly appreciated. Someone recommended checking the Family History Library catalog. This is what they had: Church records, 1748-1811 Baptist Church (Hopewell, New Jersey). Microreproduction of original at the Historical Society of Pennsylvania. Contains records of baptisms, marriages, deaths, admissions, dismissals, miscellaneous church records. The online catalog for the Historical Society of Pennsylvania has it combined with German Reformed Baptisms: German Reformed Church baptisms 1763-1801, Alexander Twp., Hunterdon County, New Jersey and Baptist Church records 1749, Hopewell, Mercer County, New Jersey. [Alexander Twp obviously an error] I was unable to find it in the NJ State Library online catalog. David -- http://www.fastmail.fm - And now for something completely different…

David: Please keep the list (and me!) informed if you can find these records. I have also been hoping to locate them, but am not in a position to do a lot of legwork in that part of the country. I also searched the NJ Archives in Trenton without any luck. Those records could really have a lot of information of interest to me if they cover the 1760-1800 timeframe. I have been wondering for a while what might have happened to them, but a lot of records from those times have simply been lost, destroyed, forgotten, etc. Doug Gordon ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Hoffman" <dvh592341@fastmail.fm> To: <NJHUNTER-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, June 25, 2005 11:41 AM Subject: Hopewell Baptist Church records > Where are the Hopewell Baptist Church records?

David: Check out your closest LDS (Mormon) Family History Center and see if they have access to it. It costs nothing and you will be welcomed. If they have to send to Salt Lake City, there will be a very small charge.
