Church Historical Records Database Project
In 2002 Ginny Shed who was cataloging church historical asked if I could build a database with what she had. It turned out that Jimmy Allen, the church sexton, wanted me to concentrate on data relating to the cemetery.
Rich Juterbock and Kevin Fox have expanded this effort by going thru session records and other documents to create a wealth of information on Church history.
Under Construction
Original databas plan:
1. Indexes to historical records collected and catalogued by
the Historical group (chaired by Ginny Shed)
2. A list of people burried in the Cemetery
3. Index to enties in old church registers
( Baptisms, Communicants, Marriages, Deaths)
