Baptismal records usuall contain the names or parents and where they are from as well as God parents, usually more relatives. Marriage records usually contain the parents names of those who were married, where they were from and witness, again usually more relatives But the records that contained my families (Sacred Heart of Jesus, St. Michaels and St. Alphonsus - German) are in Laten. Good Luck steve Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
