Church and cemetery records are private records and therefore are not collected and housed at the Chester County Archives.  Most church and cemetery association records remain with the originating church or cemetery.  The records may also be housed with the historical society affiliated with the church, especially if the church is no longer in existence.  You may also find church and cemetery records at private historical societies.  For Chester County church and cemetery records you may wish to contact the following:
