Hi again Sandy, Silly me, I sometimes forget that I have Szucs & Luebking's, The Source, and what a key tool it is. I looked up Churches, Methodist and have the below to offer in hopes it helps expedite your search. My guess is, that the quoted website from my previous reply, below, may have an email address to which you can write, in lieu of snail mail. Happy Hunting! Di Transcribed from page 166, The SOURCE: ~~Major Collections are in: United Methodist Archives Center General Commission on Archives and History of the United Methodist Church P.O. Box 127 Drew University Madison, NJ 07940 This archive is making a concerted effort to collect microfilm copies of the many newspapers published by the various state conferences of the Methodist church. It also houses microfilm copies of foreign-language newspapers published by churches such as the Evangelical United Brethren, which later merged with the Methodist church. For a fee of $10, the archive will search the newspaper holdings for an obituary if provided with a place and time of death and precise denominational affiliation. This archive does NOT maintain records of DEFUNCT congregations. These are housed in the pertinent STATE REPOSITORY. However, the general archive will INFORM correspondents of the LOCATION of the state repository most likely to have the records in question.~~ It then lists 11 addresses of various libraries, archives, research centers, etc. -- In a message dated 02/4/2 1:07:23 PM, KinDetective@aol.com writes: << You might also check out the United Methodist Church, General Commission on Archives & History, here: http://www.gcah.org/ >>
