Gary - I know there are old records for St. Patrick's but I don't recall that they go back that far. I know they go back as far as the 1870's at least. I've seen them on microfilm at the Ogdensburg Library. There may also be a copy at the SLCHA as well as though the LDS. I don't think I've seen anything back to the 1850's though. I've never really looked though. Anne **************It's only a deal if it's where you want to go. Find your travel deal here. (http://information.travel.aol.com/deals?ncid=aoltrv00050000000047)
