Discovering where denominational records are held, what might be available, and how to access them can challenge us.  Increasingly though, helpful finding materials are being published or placed online to assist in nonsecular research. Fortunately, we also find online archives (digitized records) of religious records we can access from home. This increased access to these incredibly valuable and insightful records enriches our family history research. Let’s explore how to research the spiritual affiliations and faith-based lives of our ancestors. General resources and strategies will be discussed as well as some specifics regarding Methodist, Quaker, Baptist, Moravian, Presbyterian, and the records of other denominations.

In partnership with the Wake County Public Libraries and specifically with the Olivia Raney Local History Library,  this program will look at the many reasons our immigrant ancestors departed their home country, their struggles in doing so, and the uncertainties and complexities they encountered in a new country. The focus will be on North Carolina and Wake County immigrants.
