Genealogy Records

In genealogy, Catholic church records are gold, how are Presbyterian, Lutheran, or Methodist records?

Please answer only if you’ve had experience with Presbyterian, Lutheran, or Methodist church records in genealogy. Thanks!

I’ve looked at Presbyterian and Methodist church records from the rural south in the 1800s. Some included some birth, death and Marriage Records, but the bulk of the records were comprised of minutes from meetings of the church elders. They’re pretty interesting, because they often deal with disciplinary measures taken against members for various sins such as adultery, gambling, inappropriate dancing or not showing up for church. Sometimes witnesses were called in and interviewed. These folks loved to tattle on each other, so it’s a pretty good source of gossip! It can also give you some insight into your ancestors’ personalities. One of my guys got in trouble a lot for “abruptly leaving the meeting house” whenever he disagreed with something. Another admitted that he did play the fiddle for the purpose of dancing, that he knew it was wrong and was sorry for it… but that he would do it again!

But like Shortgilly said, the records probably vary a lot from place to place. It’s always worth checking them out though, because you never know what you’ll find!

Researching African American Genealogy in Alabama $28.55 Over the past two decades, in workshops and personal consultations, thousands of persons have have received the expertise and knowledge of author Frazine Taylor about Alabama genealogical research. Now in her book, Researching African American Genealogy in Alabama: A Resource Guide, Frazine provides the information and guidance to help locate the resources available for researching African American records in archives, libraries, and county courthouses throughout the state. The idea for this guidebook rose out of her lecturing throughout the country and having noticed that reference guides on African American family history resources seemed to exist for every state except Alabama. This was regrettable not merely for researchers on African American history in Alabama. In fact, Alabama’s records play an especially important role in U.S. family history research because of the migration patterns of Alabama’s freedmen, first to urban areas of Alabama and then to northern cities, a trend that continued throughout the first part of the twentieth century.

A Genealogy of the Ancient Flemings $14.4 A medieval tradition alleges that the various branches of the Fleming family of the British Isles are descended from the three sons of an earl of Flanders. Pitted against this tradition is the more recent allegation, first made no earlier than the eighteenth century, that unrelated families immigrated in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries to the British Isles from Flanders and independently chose Fleming as a surname. What do historical records have to say concerning these two opposing views? In this publication it is asserted that the records are unanimously in favour of ancient tradition and that the modern allegation is nonsense. The traditional "earl of Flanders" was in reality a man named Erkenbald, the son of an exiled Flemish nobleman living in Normandy during the first half of the eleventh century. Erkenbald the Fleming came to England with William the Conqueror in 1066, and through him are the Flemings of the British Isles descended from one of the great noble houses of Flanders.

Ancestors and Relatives: Genealogy, Identity, and Community $22.35 Genealogy has long been one of humanity’s greatest obsessions. But with the rise of genetics, and increasing media attention through television programs like Who Do You Think You Are? and Faces of America, we are now told that genetic markers can definitively tell us where we came from. The problem, writes Eviatar Zerubavel, is that biology does not provide us with the full picture. After all, he asks, why do we consider Barack Obama black even though his mother was white? Why did the Nazis believe that unions of Germans and Jews would produce Jews rather than Germans? Are sixth cousins still family? In this provocative book, he offers a fresh understanding of relatedness, showing that its social logic sometimes overrides the biological reality it supposedly reflects. In fact, rather than just biological facts, social traditions of remembering and classifying shape the way we trace our ancestors, identify our relatives, and delineate families, ethnic groups, nations, and species. Furthermore, genealogies are more than mere records of history. Drawing on a wide range of evidence, Zerubavel introduces such concepts as braiding, clipping, pasting, lumping, splitting, stretching, and pruning to shed light on how we manipulate genealogies to accommodate personal and collective agendas of inclusion and exclusion. Rather than simply find out who our ancestors were and identify our relatives, we actually construct the genealogical narratives that make them our ancestors and relatives. An eye-opening re-examination our very notion of relatedness, Ancestors and Relatives offers a new way of understanding family, ethnicity, nationhood, race, and humanity.
