I have a curious matter that I am uncertain how to tag. I have previously mapped the Mill Creek Baptist Church Graveyard, ID 53498031, and would like to add a node for the location of the former church building. It was demolished circa 1910, and its bricks used in the construction of a daughter church building. The Mill Creek congregation merged with that daughter congregation. Later, a new congregation started a different Mill Creek Baptist Church, not descended from the original church by that name. The original location of that second church is mapped in OSM as "Mill Creek Church", ID 356845407. This second congregation later moved to a different location, which is not currently mapped in OSM.  I would like to map it as well. So, I have questions:

How do I tag two different historical churches with the same name, but not the same identity, that are located a few miles apart? Would adding "established <x>" and "established <y>" as part of the names of the two different historical locations be an appropriate technique, with the third node for the current church's location also having the "established <y>" as part of the name? I would like to have some way to indicating the linkage.
