The old Methodist Episcopal Church (North/South) is today the United
Methodist Church. The following addresses might prove helpful:
Commission on Archives and History <http://www.umc.org/archives>
The United Methodist Church Online <http://www.umc.org>
The General Board of Global Ministries <http://www.gbgm-umc.org>
I don't know where the Syracuse area is so can't help you there, but this
should give a good start to those interested in the Methodist Episcopal
Church North, now the UM Church
Grace and Peace,
