She wants to find what sort of practices (ie.rites and rituals) and decorating schemes were prevalent in the early to mid 19th century Congregational Church here in America and elsewhere as well. I have supplied her with a library data base search that should help some, however I believe that our net is also a very good resource. Can anyone give direction of a general or specific nature?
