Robin, The Methodist Church actually has a list/digest. I took it for a while but no good. They will do a search for past ministers but you pay $25.00 if they find anything or not. Scheech, can you imagine? Your ancestor worked and bled for the church and they want money to tell you about him. Other wise if you don't have $$ they are difficult to deal with. Keep calling, you are getting different degrees of people who really/don't know what is available. Only deal with the ones who knows what is really available. Good luck you have gotten further than I have. Good luck. Sheila Texas They will also let you look at the records with them. Sounds interesting. I would suggest that anyone who is going to do that call first just to be sure. Since I have gotten two different responses, it makes you wonder which is correct. They also said that they have real old pictures of parishioners.
