Do you document your ancestor’s church memberships? While there are people who are cradle to grave members of the same church, others are not. Moving may require an ancestor to change the church they attend even if the denomination remains the same. Philosophical differences with a pastor, staff member, or fellow church member may cause an ancestor to leave a congregation. The move may result in changing the denomination of which they are a member.
And some ancestors get asked to leave their church for one reason or another.
But documenting an ancestor’s church membership journey can be a worthwhile activity.
