St. Paul's church (once known as "the Irish parish") is still an active church in Brooklyn (the parish has merged with several others and has been renamed), and they continue to hold the old baptism records. You can write them at: ST PETER ST PAUL OUR LADY OF PILAR. Telephone: (718) 624-3425. Address: 234 Congress St Brooklyn NY 11201-6416 Many years ago when I wrote to get the baptism record of my greatgrandfather I enclosed a $10 donation. They will probably be overwhelmed with requests now that ancestry.com has put the index online. **************Plan your next getaway with AOL Travel. Check out Today's Hot 5 Travel Deals!
