What is in This Collection?
The collection consists of images of births and christenings, deaths and funerals, and marriages for the years 1862 to 1955.
Church records in the United States began in the early 1600s. They can be found in the churches, church archives, or university archives. They normally include records of christenings, marriages, and deaths. Churches kept records to determine who were members of their sect and to track the vital events in their member's lives. Church records are considered a primary source. They are usually reliable because they are kept by the priest or a clerk appointed by the priest, who usually recorded an event at or very near the time it occurred.
Additional records and/or images may be added to this collection in the future.
