===Correspond with or visit the actual churches.=== | |||
Some records are still held in the local churches. Contact the current minister to find out what records are still available. | |||
*'''Make an appointment''' to look at the records. Or ask the minister of the church to make a copy of the record for you. | |||
*To find church staff available, you might have to visit on Sunday. | |||
*Ask for small searches at a time, such as one birth record or a specific marriage. Never ask for "everything on a family or surname". | |||
*A '''donation''' ($25-$40) for their time and effort to help you would be appropriate. | |||
*If the church has a website, you may be able to '''e-mail a message'''. | |||
*See the [[Letter Writing Guide for Genealogy|'''Letter Writing Guide for Genealogy''']] for help with composing letters. | |||
*Each [[United States Church Records#Searching for Church Records by Denomination|'''denomination page''']] offers an [[United States Church Records#Searching for Church Records by Denomination|'''online address directory of local churches''']] for that denomination. | |||
===Check the church records collections in archives and libraries.=== | |||
Some church records have been deposited for preservation in government archives or in libraries. Watch for links to '''digitized, online records''' offered by the archives. Some archives provide '''research services''' for a fee. For others, if you cannot visit in person, you might hire a [https://algensoc.org/main/researchers.html '''researcher.''']<br> | |||

Library and Archives Canada holds only a small collection of parish registers, none of which are comprehensive for any region. Most are transcripts rather than originals, available on microfilm and listed in our ''Checklist of Parish Registers (ISBN 0660538636).'' Due to the heavy volume of inquiries we receive, we are unable to conduct searches in parish registers. | |||
