Fogo Methodist Records

What follows is a list of all Pike entries in the Fogo Methodist records held at PANL as of January 2006 (except that for baptisms I've only recorded entries up to 1962). This list constitutes a typescript of my handwritten extraction from photocopies of the original records, which is to say that I may have inadvertantly introduced some errors while transcribing and typing... as always, you should double-check against the original records. That said, if you spot any mistakes that I have made, please let me know at dapike@mun.ca. Additional Pike entries from other Newfoundland church records can also be found on my website.

Some comments about this list:

The entries below are in the same order as presented in the church records, which may not be in chronological order.
Unless I mistakenly overlooked an entry or two, this is a complete list of all Pike entries (but for baptisms, only up to 1962).
Also included are entries where a Pike was a sponsor or witness.

At PANL these records are in volumes as follows:

Baptisms: 1863 - 1917, 1906 - 1917, 1918 - 1962, 1962 - 1972 (I did not look at the 1962-1972 volume)
Marriages: 1890 - 1925, 1906 - 1917, 1925 - 1947, 1948 - 1972
Burials: 1874 - 1875, 1890 - 1947, 1907 - 1917, 1948 - 1972
