Lutherpalians & Presbygationalists: Where Did Grandma’s Church Go? with Dr. David McDonald, CG

Identifying a family’s church of origin can be a challenge when religious impulses within family contexts have changed over the decades. We’ll take a lighthearted look at the behaviors and cultural clues which may help rule religious communities “in” or “out” as likely possibilities for our ancestors. We’ll also explore strategies for identifying where pertinent records may reside, following the closure or extinction of old congregations and communities of faith in our background.
Lutherpalians & Presbygationalists: Where Did Grandma’s Church Go? with Dr. David McDonald, CG will be held on Saturday, July 9, 2022, from 9:45 to 10:45 a.m.
Each summer, the Archives of Michigan and the Michigan Genealogical Council host a seminar to promote family history awareness and teach genealogy research skills. The event is generously supported by the Abrams Foundation in loving memory of Barbara J. Brown.
For this year’s event, we are pleased to offer this flagship annual gathering as a hybrid event. Participants can attend sessions either online or onsite. We are delighted to be hosting Dr. David McDonald, CG, for this year’s event, whose sessions will all be via Zoom.
