Help me find the correct Catholic church for a Baptismal Certificate of Irish Catholic immigrants' son, please. DATE OF BIRTH: 5 SEPT 1894----have birth certificate PLACE of BIRTH: 311 East 60th St., NY, NY 10022 [have photo] Today this address is at the foot of the 59th Street Bridge (also known as Queensborough Bridge), across the tram from Roosevelt/Blackwell's Island. The zip code is irregular for the neighborhood, so Manhattan List of Catholic Churches by ZIP CODE created by Charles Sullivan does not work. The church in question was probably Irish. Our Lady of Peace does not have it. They had mainly Slovak members. St. John the Evangelist, definitely was an Irish parish, but Father Joseph phoned me and they do not have it. Would SKS please offer suggestions? Thank you, Barb

If you don't find the church where the child was baptized, you may want to consider the following: 1) The parents were not practicing Catholics 2) The parents may have been of mixed faiths and the child baptized in the faith of the non-Catholic (this occurred in my own family), or 3) In the event the child was in danger of death at the time of his birth, a priest might have been called to administer the sacrament at home and no record was made at the church (not very likely, but a possibility). Just some thoughts .....
