Father Loras Otting is the director of Archives at the Dubuque Archdiocese. You can call the Archdiocese and he could answer your questions. I have found some 1860 info up there by particular parish.

May I ask what the proper procedure is to inquire? Does one offer money to look up records? I've been wanting to contact them but feel awkward. Thank you.
