<br>Church records and the information they provide vary significantly depending on the denomination and the record keeper. They may contain information about members of the congregation, such as age, date of baptism, christening, or birth; marriage information and maiden names; and death date. Some keep minutes of church meetings and the histories of their local church. Records may include names of other relatives who were witnesses or members of the congregation. The members of some churches were predominantly of one nationality or ethnic group. Each church has its own policies in record keeping. | <br>Church records and the information they provide vary significantly depending on the denomination and the record keeper.
