From another mailing list but very useful. Thanks to Nancy. Betty Pace --------- Forwarded message ---------- The first two links are to pages that are informative and very well done. The third link is a great find, if any of your ancestors happened to belong to a Primitive Baptist Church. Not all states are online, but the ones that are have a lot of detailed information. I found an entire extended family of one of my Illinois lines there! I hope they're helpful to some of you. Please forgive crossposts.
