Hi Don, Thank you for this information. What if I don't know the church they attended? Thanks, Kathy

If you have an idea where they got married, you can find out pretty easily what church records are extant for that period. There won't be many from the early 19th century except possibly Philadelphia. Then find ways to get them checked. For most counties in Pennsylvania, there are very knowledgeable people who follow that county's rootsweb mailing list. If you have death or burial information, you may be able to track them backwards. The graveyard will give a strong hint as to the kind of church they attended. There may be an extant will which often will provide good information for tracking backwards, particularly if there are financials. A deed may also be helpful.

Kathy: Knowing the name of the church is rather essential. Otherwise you would have to review all the various available churches in the county or given area of research. In other words, a lot of looking perhaps days. No particular method to follow, luck sure helps. LOL! Don >
