===Historical Background=== | |||
A Methodist society began in Grenada in 1820 when its first church was built in the parish town of St. George’s. | |||
Methodist records consist mainly of baptism and marriage records. Baptism records show the child’s name, parents, and birth date and place. Marriage records show the names of the bride and groom, and the marriage date and place. Occasionally a circuit minute book or vestry book was kept. Since there were few Methodist cemeteries, death or burial records are rare. Methodists were usually buried in Anglican Church cemeteries, and their burial records kept in Anglican Church registers. | |||
