I went to the rectory and asked if I could look at the records. The lay person there said that I could not but if I gave him the information I was looking for he would do the search. We went into the rectory and I gave him the approximate dates of birth for my grandparents. He had to look through a couple of books until we found the entries. We sat and watched as he did the search. I tried to give him some money for his efforts and he refused to take it. Like everything else in this world there are exceptions to every rule. Hey Jim: I have some relatives in Brenna. The young lady went to the rectory as you did and gave them information to get copies of birth records and marriages. They were un co-operative at the rectory and the relatives are church members there and have been for years. Dick **************Gas prices getting you down?
