It might be helpful in figuring out where people's baptism and marriage records are. All those records are kept at the parish level unless the parish is completely closed--then the records are with the diocesan archives. If the parish merged with another parish, the records are in the new parish. Sorry the link is so long. http://dioceseofbrooklyn.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/chronological_list_brooklyn_parish_school_2012.pdf Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
