Before 1900 the largest religious groups in [[Mississippi]] were the Baptist and the Methodist Episcopal (now United Methodist) churches. The Family History Library has a few original church records for Mississippi, including some Baptist and Presbyterian documents. However, the records of these major denominations seldom include birth, marriage, and death dates. | Before 1900 the largest religious groups in [[Mississippi]] were the Baptist and the Methodist Episcopal (now United Methodist) churches.
