Hi Cliff, I am responding to the list in case anyone else might be interested in the church list you sent me. Thanks for your help. I hope I don't sound too stupid when I ask this question but.... being born and raised catholic, I'm not sure what a "protestant" church is. Is a methodist considered a protestant? How about Episcopal or baptist? Also, would someone from Ireland been more drawn to a certain "protestant" church in Troy than another?

Here is all that Graham had for Troy. He was interested in churches of a certain time period so there must have been churches that formed earlier and later.

Patti, In my opinion, protestant churches might be defined as Christian Churches which were formed in Western Europe during and after the Reformation. The Eastern Christian Churches (Russia, Greece) are referred to as Orthodox. Also, I suspect that most Protestants coming out of Ireland would have been Presbyterian (Church of Scotland), Methodist or Episcopalian (Church of England). My Irish ancestors were from what is now Northern Ireland and became Episcopalians in the USA.
