I don't know which church my relatives attended. How do I find that out?
Answer
The society has several resources which may be helpful, including Hall's Index of American Presbyterian Congregations. Hall's Index allows you to identify Presbyterian congregations located in a particular state or city over time. Alternately, if you know the name of the minister who performed a baptism or marriage, and the year, we can sometimes find a church name that way. If you are concentrating on the Philadelphia area, Historical Directory of Presbyterian Churches and Presbyteries of Greater Philadelphia, by Kenneth A. Hammonds, has a cross street index of churches. This book is available for use in our reading room. The title may also be available via interlibrary loan (ILL) from another institution that owns it.
