Comments And Suggestions
CHURCH DIRECTORIES Church directories list church ministers, dioceses, and parishes. An annual directory that lists all of the ministers of the Church in Wales is:
Crockford’s Clerical Directory. 95th ed. London: Church House Publishing, 1998–99. (FHL book 942 E4c 1998–99; computer number 0009995.) Crockford’s has been produced annually since 1858. The library has many editions on microfilm, microfiche, or in book form.
Similar directories for other denominations are also available. They are often organized by the jurisdictional areas of the denominations. These directories may help you identify neighboring congregations of the same faith.
