For the lister who asked, the Cleveland Diocese address is as follows: Diocese of Cleveland - Archives Office Chancery Building 1027 Superior Ave. Cleveland OH 44114-2503 I have written three times and been answered once. Feel free to send a reminder as I did-- that prompted a pleasant response. As someone ppointed out, answering genealogyg questions is NOT their primary business. I am pleased to get any response. There is a fee for their research, depending on how much time they must spend. They send the info & cost for you to pay. I asked about several families. I asked for any information they had regarding christenings, marriages, or burials for these folks. I included names of spouse & children and ADDRESS. The address will help them find the right parish to check. PArish boundaries kept moving with the building of new churches, btw. In response, they sent me all the baptisms for the last name I indicated in the appopriaste parish for a long period. They were able to provide the date of the event, names of parents (which included an heretofore unknown maiden name!) and the nbames of sponsors or witnesses. Remember, these records were for church purposes. Parish records in the UK often do not contain this much! One proviso-- I asked for burial records and they do not keep those until about the turn of the 20th century, so that was a wash out. If you need that, the Western Reserve Hist. SOciety on University Circle has possession of the McGorray Funerl Home records up to the 1930's-- they buried many Cleveland Catholics. You can call ahead & make arrangements to see them. They are spotty but I found some gems there, too. Good hunting! Judith in OH
