Kathy and et al, I wrote St. Joseph's directly and got my mother's and aunt's records from 1917 in 1998. Instead of going through the Diocese, I researched the orphanage itself and arrived at the address below. The address I used then was: St. Joseph's Services For Children and Families 540 Atlantic Avenue Brooklyn, NY 11217-1982 (718) 858-8700 They didn't have much but what they did have was great. You could call them and see if they are still this location. I hope this helps you.

I���ve spoken to Catholic Charities Brooklyn & Queens. They hold the records for St. Joseph���s but the records don���t start until 1920 per the person who responded to my inquiry. I���ve also talked to the Brooklyn Diocese office and they have nothing. I���m trying to find the records for the above Mary born in 1887 to Hannah or Anna McLoughlin and John or Daniel McDermott.
