Hello, Does anyone know what records the Methodist Church has & how far back they may go? I am looking for the marriage record of William BURK/BURKE & Sarah GEARHART..circa 1820's. William was born abt .1800 Pa.( parents unknown) & Sarah was born 1805 in Northumberland Co. ( father was William, mother is still unknown) Their 1st child was born about 1827. We did find them in Northumberland Co in 1830. Any guidence would be very appreciated, as to where to go for documentation for this family. We are really stuck! Thank you, Rebecca Heinz WV
