Does anyone know which Catholic Church in NY my Czech/Bohemian ancestors might have attended between 1884 and 1891? I do not know whether they lived in Manhattan, Brooklyn, or elsewhere. The NY City Directories have several James Michaels during that period. Their names were Vaclav & Marie Michal (Anglicized to James & Mary Michael), and they arrived in NYC (Castle Garden) on 10 November 1884 on the S.S. Lessing and had moved to Baltimore by 1891. I believe that there should be two death and burial records in a NY Catholic Church(one of Marie/Mary who is said to have died shorty after arrival in NY and one of a young daughter named Johanna), one marriage of James to his second wife about 1887-89, and an unknown number of baptisms.
