Hi List, This may be a really stupid question, but where did Catholics, particularly French-Canadian Catholics living in Clinton County, get married and buried and have their children baptized pre-1850's? It seems that all of the church records start around 1850. Were there mission churches in Canada who sent a priest down to do these? If so, where would those records be? Like a lot of us on this list, I lose my French Canadian ancestors' trails once they cross the border into New York, and can't pick them up again until I find them in Michigan. Thanks! Geri Merkey
