Since the W.P.A. Survey didn't give a location for the records, and that church was still open at that time (c1940), I assume that the church had custody of the records in c1940. And since your email suggests that the church still exists. I would assume that they still have custody. You might try a letter addresses directly to the minister. You might also want to contact Drew university which is, or was, a repository for the methodist church and ask them: [1]http://www.drew.edu/library/methodist jim -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [NYQUEENS] Help Identifying Queens Church From: Dee <[2]deesgenes1@yahoo.com> Date: Wed, April 25, 2012 6:14 pm To: "[3]nyqueens@rootsweb.com" <[4]nyqueens@rootsweb.com> My family belonged to that church too. I see on p 120 that there are records. 4 volumes. Where might I locate them? I contacted the church several years ago and even stopped in when I was on LI in 1991. Got no responses either time.
