St. Andrew's Episcopal Church (Clawson, Mich.) records, 1951-2011

7 linear feet — 1.5 GB (online)

Online
The records of St. Andrew's Episcopal Church (Clawson, Mich.) document the history of the church from its beginning in 1951 to its closing in 2011. Records include church registers, parish directories, bulletins, newsletters, photographs in analog and digital formats, and other administrative records.

Saint Andrew's Church created and kept many records which document the activities and membership of the church. The record group is divided into several series: Register of Church Services; Registers of Marriages, Baptisms, Confirmations, Burials, etc.; Vestry Records; Chronological Series; Church Bulletins; Church Newsletters; Parish Directories; Organizational Record Books; and Other Records. Analog photographs of members and events are scattered throughout the collection. The Other Records series contains digital photos of the church and church events.

The records document both the administration and activities of the church. Of special interest to the genealogist are the Registers of Marriages, Baptisms, Confirmations, Burials, etc. These volumes contain dates and other information about members of the church parish. Other membership information will be found in the Parish Directory series. The Vestry Records contain minutes, reports, and other items related to the administration of the church. This series should be supplemented with the Chronological series which is made up of annual folders containing correspondence, reports, photographs, and other items from each year. For information on events and services of the church, researchers should examine the Church Bulletins and Church Newsletters. The run of newsletters is fairly complete but only a sampling of the bulletins were retained, enough to document every decade in the church's history.
