Description:
1898 Presbyterian Ministerial Directory During the Summer of 1897, Edgar S.
Robinson, D.D., was in the hospital recovering from surgery. While there, he
realized that he had very little knowledge of the personnel of the
Presbyterian Church. So, once recuperated, he endeavored to locate and record
all ministers working for both the Northern and Southern Presbyterian
churches of the United States. His work is recorded in the directory upon
which this electronic database is based. All of the entries give the first
and last name of the minister, and where he was working in 1898 when the
original directory was published. This information can be extremely useful to
those searching for person's who moved to a totally new location. Also,
knowing what church the minister was serving may lead to other avenues of
research. Most of the entries also contain valuable information about where
the person was born, including a number who were born outside of the U.S in
countries such as Ireland, Scotland, Wales and Canada. In some cases a birth
date is also given. A date of Ordination is also given for a large percentage
of the entries. Numerous ministers who were serving as missionaries outside
of the United States are also included. Extended Description:
