Thanks to Raecel Gibson who has volunteered to transcribe Albers' St. Bernard's Church records. And to Kate Rogers who has volunteered to transcribe the Germantown St. Dominic's records.

In my opinion the Baptisms are the most difficult because: 1. There are more of them 2. In each entry you have the child, each parent, and you can have 2 to 4 sponsors. So that means lots of Latin to challenge you. Remember that in some of these churches the dates are written out in Latin so you have the birth date and the Baptismal date to decipher. The next most difficult would be marriages mainly due to the number of people to transcribe in each entry. Burial records are usually the least difficult because unless the priest knew the person the records consist of the deceased person's name, death date and burial date. We always hope that the parents' names are included or some other tidbit about the person but that depends on the priest. Then there is the matter of penmanship...

Looking at some of the Baptism records for ST. Rose, I believe the priest added later notations regarding the person marrying such and such and in which church. This is valuable info, but does not pertain to the baptism itself. So be on the look out for this. At St. Libory the early priest or priests made a note as to where the parents were from (German village name.)

Catholic Churches (a part of the Belleville Diocese) records. Below are two emails from other-county-coordinators which apply to us, too. The search.labs people are looking for help in translating these. Is there anyone on the Clinton Co. list who would be willing to translate some of these? And is there a volunteer to be the Clinton County clearing house in the translation of these fantastic records to make sure that two people don't spend time transcribing the same records? We will need proofers, too. A couple might already be done. These images might be better than the originals at the churches. I remember one church where the originals are almost white because of faded ink, but I didn't see any white pages in these images. The Family History Centers often have a pamphlet to assist in translating Latin. Some of the church office administrators in Clinton County might have a copy for you to make a copy from. The FHC in O'Fallon usually has some for sale, they used to be 50 cents each. You could probably order them from the Salt Lake City Family Search, too. http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/default.asp From: On Behalf Of Orvill S.

Although a formal public announcement and launch of the website is forthcoming, researchers can still access the collections that the Church has completed by registering with its beta-site - http://search.labs.familysearch.org Once you go to the above website, and click on the hyperlink "Register to use Record Search." Fill out the requested information and submit. Within a couple of minutes you should receive a confirmation email informing you that your registration is complete and that you can now access the system. The number of collections available on "FamilySearch Record Search" is continually growing and new content is added almost on a monthly, and sometimes weekly, basis. NOTE: There are (2) categories of databases available on the website - indexed and browsable. The indexed collections have every-name indexes created for them. The browsable collections have no indexed data, but are broken-down in such a way that a researcher can get close to the range of images in the collection that he/she is interested in looking at. At that point, you're browsing images on the internet just like you would a roll of microfilm. DIOCESE OF BELLEVILLE (IL) - CATHOLIC CHURCH RECORDS - 1729-1956: One collection of particular interest to Illinois researchers are the Catholic Church records of the Diocese of Belleville. Although not yet indexed, the images to the parish records can be easily browsed from home on the internet. Browsable images are available for baptisms, first communions, confirmations (to 1907), marriages (to 1930) or deaths (to 1956). Records are available for the following IL counties: Alexander, Clay, Clinton, Franklin, Gallatin, Hamilton, Hardin, Jackson, Jefferson, Johnson, Lawrence, Marion, Massac, Monroe, Perry, Pulaski, Randolph, Richland, Saline, St. Clair, Union, Wabash, Washington, Wayne, White & Williamson. I would strongly encourage c.c.'s for these IL counties to be aware of the availability of these records to researchers for your counties. Please help spread the word!

ILGenWeb Coordinator ========================== Hello to all, These digitized diocesan records are in part, the culminating efforts of the local genealogy society in St Clair County (SCCGS). Back in 2001 the local St. Clair Gen Society negotiated release of pre-1930 sacramental records for free public use at society expense. The diocesan offices are based in St. Clair County. Read more history here http://www.stclair-ilgs.org/cath.htm During that process, some on the project became aware of the diocese's need/wish to refilm all the registers, and project persons encouraged the diocese to work with the Gen Soc of Utah to do the filming.( GSU runs the filming projects appearing on the http://labs.familysearch.org site GSU is a nonprofit organization created by The Corporation of the President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) . Longer story short, the digitized registers for some years are now online for free use by and we in southern Illinois are delighted! I am the cc for St Clair, and also webmaster for the St Clair Co Gen Soc. There is not yet a FamilySearch Lab project to index the parish registers to my knowledge. We could use the Parish Finding Aids and Descriptive Lists on the SCCGS webpage to announce who has an index in progress (helps get more volunteers and avoids duplicating another's efforts). Link above. If you or someone on your county Lists completes an index to the online parish register images, I'd be happy to post a link to your page, or upload your index to either St Clair website of your choice. The IL USGenWeb State website would also be a good place to show such links. One caveat: some of the indexes prepared by a parish are incomplete, so any private indexing or extraction project is best accomplished by viewing the actual register (in other words, transcriptions of the digital index would not be comprehensive)
