Hello Listers: This is a first time post. I am searching for information about Patrick KELLY and Mary Ann DOLAN (1825, Galway IRE--1890, Allegheny City, Allegheny Co., PA). They were the parents of two known children: Patrick/Patsy, b. abt. 1851-52, PA, and Mary Anna, b. June 1854, PA. Have been searching for their exact dates and places of birth for over 20 years. Since Mary Ann nee Dolan Kelly and her two children resided in Huntingdon Co., per the 1860 census, and later in Allegheny Co., per 1870 and 1880 censuses I have done pretty extensive research in the Pittsburgh area and have not found baptism information for Patsy or Mary Anna. I has been suggested by a professional researcher in Pittsburgh that possibly this family lived in the Philadelphia area. So I have found a Patrick and Maria Kelly in the 1850 Germantown, Philadelphia Co., PA census. I have contacted the Philadelphia Diocese and been told that I need to determine what parish this family attended, and go from there. So am asking for help as to the names of Catholic churches/parishes c. 1850's in the Germantown area. Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

There are a couple. St Vincent's, St Michael of the Saints, and I think there is an Italian one several blocks east of Germantown Avenue. St Bridget's in East Falls (on Midvale Avenue) is not in Germantown - maybe a mile or two away, but it is Irish. St Vincent's is certainly most likely. I looked at an old list and I am not sure St Michael of the Saints is still in existence. Elizabeth C acmbjc@aol.com wrote: > > Hello Listers: > > > This is a first time post.

The query is for sacramental records around 1850. St. Vincent de Paul was founded in 1851. St. Michael of the Saints was founded in 1924, closed in 1982, but the records are certainly still available even though it doesn't apply to this query. (It is possible to find other than Italians in an Italian parish.) St. Bridget's was founded in 1853, so the marriage record isn't likely to be there, but the Baptisms might be. I would consider St. Stephen, founded 1843. St. John the Baptist was founded in 1831, another possibility. All of those early records are held at PAHRC. The person inquiring could request a search of St. Vincent, St. Bridget, St. John the Baptist and St. Stephen. It is helpful that she has the maiden name for Mary Ann. Maybe she will get lucky!
