Before 1900 the largest religious groups in Michigan were the Methodist, Baptist, Lutheran, and Roman Catholic churches. Information about early churches, ministers, and circuits is in published histories of some of the churches of Michigan.<ref>Sydney E.

The availability of Michigan church records is described in the Summer 1973 issue of Family Trails (see the "[[Michigan Periodicals|Periodicals]]" section). Other inventories of the church archives of several denominations, such as the Protestant Episcopal and Evangelical, have been published and are at the Family History Library. | The availability of Michigan church records is described in the Summer 1973 issue of Family Trails (see the "[[Michigan Periodicals|Periodicals]]" section).
