Church records are a necessity for researching in those times of pre-vital records or “the burned court house” situation. During this class we will take a look at different types of church records and their importance in genealogy. We will also spend time studying the wealth of information that you can find in Funeral Home Books as well as what you can expect to find in the actual cemetery records and monument company records. Cost: $5 IGS members/ $10 non-members.
