I contacted Father Baker's home directly by telephone for some information needed on my husband's biological mother. (We are trying to locate her since he never met her in his 63 years). Since my husband already had his birth certificate, it stated his biological mother's full name. His mother was still married to his father at the time of his birth, but they were soon to be divorced. Father Bakers home was very co-operative and sent me what little information that they had. If you need any contact information for Father Bakers home, I will be happy to supply that for anyone.

Does anyone out there know if there is a way to research them? I have written to the new Monsignor but have not had a reply.
