Facts
Be sure you have the correct church/religious denomination. If you’re not sure, search the churches closest to home first and then broaden your search in ever-widening circles. Cemetery, Funeral Director, and Obituary records frequently provide church information.
[Church Records]
An Administrator is an appointee of the court who settles the estate of a deceased who died without leaving a will.
[Definitions]
An ancestor is a person from whom you are descended. A descendant is a person who is descended from an ancestor. A relative is someone with whom you share a common ancestor but who is not in your direct line.
