Faith
of Our Fathers: United States Church Records
by Peggy Clemens Lauritzen, AG, FOGS
Before state and vital records were mandated, churches were valuable information
that can be used as substitutes for vital records. Our country is one of religious
diversity. Except for the very early days in the colonies, there has never been
a "state religion". A number of different religions and their beginnings will
be discussed.
Peggy Clemens Lauritzen, AG, FOGS, has become a favorite speaker
at conferences and webinars. She serves as a Family History Center director, and
is an instructor and author at Legacy Family Tree Webinars, Ancestry Academy,
Family Tree University, and a columnist for Reminisce magazine. She received the
2018 Laura G. Prescott Award for Exemplary Service to Professional Genealogy.
