The quick answer is "lots". If Linda doesn't mind me advertising another rootsweb list, there is one called Presbyterian. It is very quiet, but there is in its archives a number of plots of the rich variety of Presbyterianism in America. Remember that the PC (USA) is itself a recent union, and even if your grandfather in law was main line, the question would have been which main line? As I say, Presbyterian (I think that is its name, I can't find the address I signed up with it several computers ago and recently it has been very quiet) Might give you the information which you want.

I know this might not be the place for theology, but - my grandfather-in-law was a Scots-Irish Presbyterian clergyman, who served multiple congregations in the American midwest. I thought there was *one* Presbyterian Church, which I guess would be the more "mainline" Presbyterian Church USA (?). But I have recently learned of the Reformed Presbyterian Church and the Evangelical Presbyterian Church - are there others? I hate to show my ignorance by asking my Presbyterian friends, so thanks in advance for any help you may give - Ann
With the exception of the Cumberland Presbytery at the time. Don't know what's going on with that now. Am sort of out of touch since the 'Joining for the Journey' happened in 1986.
