Phyllis, When you check these church records also check for a child's Baptism if they had any children in that area. Sometimes the priest would include little tidbits of information about the parents. There just might be a clue as to when and where they came from in those records. They are truly treasures. Thanks to Diane and all the helpers who edited them to get that project done. Gloria
