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. | |||
