While cruising through the Genealogical Society’s holdings at the library in Deshler recently, I came across several containers of church directories. Most of\u00a0the churches are in southern Henry County, but if you have ancestors in the county, it’s worth a look. The books are largely professionally published and contain church histories, member directories, and lots of photos.<\/p>\n
