If the burial record mentions a sermon, you may be able to find a printed copy at a local library or archive.''' Funeral sermons''' often mentioned several generations of ancestors.

'''Stillbirths''' were not recorded the same way in all churches. The pastor or priest often determined how to record stillbirths in his parish. In some areas, stillbirths were recorded in birth records. In other areas, stillbirths were recorded in death records. Some parishes listed stillbirths in both birth and death records. You should check both birth and death records if you suspect that a child was stillborn. | '''Stillbirths''' were not recorded the same way in all churches.
