Grand Bank Methodist Records

What follows is a list of all Pike entries in the Grand Bank Methodist records held at PANL as of April 2006. 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.
• Also included are entries where a Pike was a sponsor or witness.

At PANL these records are in volumes as follows:

• General Registers: 1817 - 1853, 1839 - 1843
• Baptisms: 1849 - 1890, 1890 - 1902, 1902 - 1913, 1913 - 1957
• Marriages: 1850 - 1890, 1890 - 1907, 1907 - 1926, 1926 - 1940, 1941 - 1942, 1942 - 1961
