Baptism records are a primary resource for family history research. These records are more likely to be accurate because they were documented shortly after a person's birth. They usually include birth date and parent's names, as well as where the baptism took place.
I was lucky to find my paternal uncle's Certificate of Baptism. He was baptized on 3 November 1954, less than a month after his birth, in the Brandywine Methodist Church in Wilmington, Delaware. The same church where my grandparents were married.
Every ancestor is more than just a name. Every one of them has a story. We are connected genetically, physically, and emotionally. We are who we are because of who they were.
