Is there additional info other than what is online? >> Oh my, yes!!! What is online was never meant to take the place of what is on film. First, what is on line may have errors in spelling, etc. On film you will find birth date and hour of birth, baptism date, the name of the child, the names of the parents, the sponsors. As for the death records, you will also find the cause of death. Anyone doing serious research MUST see the original, in this case, the microfilm. Happy hunting! Curt.
