I also have family that was active in that church and it is nearly impossible to get a look at records because they are "private". After much persistence & groveling in person, I was allowed to view an index of baptisms and found my grandmother and her siblings. I had been told there were no records for the family. The county record of my great grandparents' marriage states they were married at the church with the accurate name of the priest at that time but the church repeatedly tells me they have no record of the marriage. Why are they being so secretive & difficult?
