The latest journal issue, “Religions and Denominational Records Part 2” is now available online for all NCGS Members.
Editor’s Message
We are excited to continue our exploration of the faiths that your North Carolina ancestors may have embraced and the records they created. This issue contains Part 2. You will find Part 1 in Vol 47 #1.
We explore the following faiths and record types:
- Jewish — The Twofold Problem of a Hebrew Burial
- A.M.E. — St. James A.M.E. Church, Snow Hill
- Baptist — (1) Proofs of Mary Evans, as Mother to “Evangelist” Lemuel Burkett & (2) Roanoke Island Baptist Church Members Lists (1888-1925)
- Catholic — Catholic Records and Archives in Western North Carolina
- Christian Church and United Church of Christ — Christian Church and United Church of Christ Genealogical Resources at Elon University
- Episcopal — Using Parish Registers to Fill in the Blanks: A Case Study
- Lutheran — The James R. Crumley, Jr. Archives
- Multiple Faiths — Church Records at Family Research Society of Northeastern North Carolina
Though we present select faith-specific research resources and records, also remember to research the mentioned resource types and records for whichever faiths are applicable for whom you are studying.
As always, check out the reviews of excellent genealogically relevant books that continue to be published.
OFF-TOPIC: This issue does include one article which does not focus on religious records. Your editor was excited to stumble across some records that supplement the published book, North Carolina Freedman’s Savings and Trust Records, now online and accessible to NCGS Members.
Best wishes wherever your genealogical journey takes you.
