Intro to U.S. Church Records: Why We Care Where Grandma Went to Church

Obtain an understanding about the diversity and changing dynamics of the U.S. religious landscape over the past 200+ years and learn how to figure out where your relatives may have attended church and how to access those records.

What You Will Learn

U.S. church records of many denominations can reveal ancestors’ vital events, family relationships, overseas birthplaces and other residences and religious lives. From the co-author of the acclaimed book How to Find Your Family History in U.S. Church Records, learn what these records may look like, how to identify an ancestral church, locate extant records and access them.
