I would like to research the records of this church. Does anyone know if there have been copies and/or transcripts made of the records? Is it possible to make an appointment to view them? My calls to the church have gone unanswered. I understand that my research is a low priority for them ;-), but I'm sure their books hold valuable information for me. And of course, I would make a donation. Do any of you locals know a way to access these records? Thanks!

About ten years ago I contacted the church and the person who responded to my letter at the time was very helpful. Unfortunately, I don't remember her name. She gave me the burial information for my grandparents and uncle and even the information from my grandfather's death certificate. Since I learned that perpetual care had been ordered but not paid for, I of course made an appropriate donation, but the information was freely given. I didn't ask about any other records because my family had moved there after any births, marriages, etc., but I'd suggest you keep trying. I've found that a letter is often more effective than a phone call, at least to initiate contact.
