To find about a Catholic priest, you would have to know if he was a Diocesan priest (and then what diocese he worked in), or a Religious priest and then what order (Jesuit, Franciscan, etc.). For a Diocesan priest, contact the offices of the diocese; for a Religious priest, contact either their headquarters or an individual priest. Most diocesan offices should be able to give you addresses of where to look (in either instance) and some help with this. -----Original Message----- From: mondragon@mail.utexas.edu <mondragon@mail.utexas.edu> To: GenTips-L@rootsweb.com <GenTips-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Tuesday, June 09, 1998 10:19 AM Subject: Catholic priests >Does anyone know if there is an archive or web site somewhere that has >lists of Catholic priests through history?
