===Correspond with or visit the actual churches.===
Some records are still held in the local churches. Contact the current minister to find out what records are still available. 
*'''Make an appointment''' to look at the records. Or ask the minister of the church to make a copy of the record for you.
*To find church staff available, you might have to visit on Sunday.
*Ask for small searches at a time, such as one birth record or a specific marriage. Never ask for "everything on a family or surname".   
*A '''donation''' ($25-$40) for their time and effort to help you would be appropriate. 
*If the church has a website, you may be able to '''e-mail a message'''.
*See the [[Letter Writing Guide for Genealogy|'''Letter Writing Guide for Genealogy''']] for help with composing letters.<br>
