Thanks for the reply Bob. It sure does appear that it is closed or moved. I got a reply from Ingrid who said that she indexed the oldest church books about 18 years ago and that she thought that they were given to WRHS. However, a check of the WRHS catalog doesn't show that they have the church book or index. So, I'm not sure where they are now.
