Church Record Sunday: Western Kentucky University

Have Kentucky ancestors? You may want to check out Western Kentucky University's Manuscript and Folklife Archives Collections. It's here that you can learn about their church record holdings and the South Union Shaker collection.

According to their website, their Church Records collection includes:

"records (either originals or photocopies) from churches of many denominations in Kentucky and elsewhere. Typically, these records consist of minutes of church meetings and registers of members, but may also include other information such as the church constitution, articles of faith and rules of decorum, and lists of pastors, elders, deacons, baptisms, marriages and deaths."
