I do not claim expertise in this area, however I know there was more than one cemetery when I was looking for Irish Catholic folks in Manchester. A good resource is the American Canadian Genealogy Society in Manchester. They also have transcript books on some Manchester Parishes for sale. You can contact them through their web site. ----- Original Message ----- From: Steven & Ann Mensch <Mensch-Family@worldnet.att.net> To: <NHHILLSB-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, September 17, 2000 8:19 AM Subject: Re: [NHHILLSB] Manchester Catholic Churches > Greetings Jeanne, > > Catholic church records may be requested via a brief, specific letter to the > parish church where the event occurred. > > Identifying the appropriate parish church may require a bit of detective > work.
