If I have five sons, and they marry ladies from different parishes. They will attend services in her family parish. They still came from the same parish. WHY they married to get land, the woman's dowery. They were fortunate, no transportation, so they did not travel far from home. I was born and raised on Blessed Sacrament parish in Baltimore. We always went to St Mary's parish to meet the girls. Times have not changed much. Always check out the Bride's parish in research. Bud Flanagan, in Arizona
