== Historical Background == | |||
Church records are an excellent source of names, dates, relationships, and places. In fact, church records are the primary source for pre-civil registration (pre-1865) Grenadian research. Church records include records of christenings, marriages, and burials, sometimes giving birth and death dates. These records were kept in bound registers, usually called parish registers. Church records may include other types of records such as session or vestry minutes. The major religions of Grenada are the Catholic Church and Anglican Church. The Presbyterian Church is also prominent. | Church records are an excellent source of names, dates, relationships, and places.
