As Sunny Morton and Harold Henderson write in the Introduction to their new book, How to Find Your Family History in U.S. Church Records, “ . . . there’s never been a better time to make [church records] a routine part of the research process.” As Morton and Henderson emphasize, while church records once took years to find, millions of them are now widely available primarily owing to digitization and online indexing.
How to Find Your Family History in U.S. Church Records is the perfect tool for learning how to utilize church records at this opportune time. The groundbreaking book both tells you how to access church records and get the most from then, and then describes the features of records held by twelve major religious denominations.
