    1. [IRL-CAVAN] Process of Converting to Catholicism
    2. Does anyone know what the process was for conversion from Presbyterianism to Catholicism in the mid-19th century? Family lore has it that my grgrandmother Julia Johnston was a convert. She married my grgrandfather from Co. Cavan at St. Joseph's in Carrickmacross in 1860, so she was likely a Catholic by that time. The filmed CMX records go back only to 1858 and don't show her baptism. I'm wondering if she converted before 1858 or if baptism was not required to convert. (One of her brothers had a Catholic funeral in 1857 in Aug. East and another a Catholic baptism in 1858, followed by many Catholic marriages, so it appears the entire family became Catholic, though I don't know if this happened one by one.) Any light people can shed on this process would be greatly appreciated! Diane ************** New MapQuest Local shows what's happening at your destination. Dining, Movies, Events, News & more.
