My ancestors on my mother’s side of the family have been members of the same denomination since the Reformation.

Neither was of the desired denomination. The Presbyterian church was “closest,” so that was it. It is possible that necessity caused your ancestor to attend (and leave records at) a church other than the one you think he always attended? ———————————— Check out GenealogyBank’s Offer for Tip of the Day Fans!
