The Bancroft United Methodist Church Collection consists of five volumes, two of which are general record books which may contain membership, baptismal, marriage, and death records. The remaining three volumes are membership records. Inclusive dates for the collection are 1903-1978. Bancroft United Methodist, which was previously First Evangelical United Brethren, was located at 1664 West Bancroft prior to it closing on 29 October 1978. The denominational change from Evangelical United Brethren to United Methodist took place sometime after 1966. For an interesting bit of church history see pages one through three of the final record book (1953-1978).
