Harrisburg, St. Paul's United Methodist Church Records
Rev. Dr. H. Russell Blanchard, Jr., became pastor of St. Paul's United Methodist Church in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, in 1992. He aggregated records of baptisms, marriages and deaths for the church, from 1860 to 1997. Also included in his work are general membership records as well as a brief history of St. Paul's. Over the years the church suffered many floods. Several of the record books have been lost to flood waters. Books containing records from 1865 to 1868, 1885 to 1895, and 1930 to the present remain. Transcriptions of those records as well of those that were reconstructed after the floods are following. The very best effort has been made to accurately read these records and preserve them considering their poor condition. It is possible that records before 1860, if any, may be found at Grace United Methodist Church. St. Paul's is located at 118 Vine Street Harrisburg, PA 17104. Very useful to Harrisburg genealogy.
