>>>All this is prelude to my questions: >>> 1. Where does New York store its marriage records for the years >>>1842-1845? >>>Ellie Depew Ellie, I received this from one of my correspondents. Hope this helps, Ruth Pokorny ------------- In 1841/42, there were only two German Catholic churches in New York City: St. Nicholas and St. John the Baptist St. Nicholas closed back in 1939. The records are now with the nearby Church of the Most Holy Redeemer: Church of the Most Holy Redeemer 173 East 3rd Street New York, NY 10009 phone: (212) 673-4224 I will mention here that Most Holy Redeemer parish was founded in 1844, and although St. Nicholas parish had been founded already in 1833, Most Holy Redeemer became New York's major German Catholic church. Back in the day, it was often referred to as the "German Cathedral". Today, Most Holy Redeemer is predominantly Hispanic. Because Most Holy Redeemer has its own records and St. Nicholas's records as well, if you contact Most Holy Redeemer, you have to be sure to tell them that it's St. Nicholas's records you want them to check. But I guess that's a moot point in a way, because Most Holy Redeemer itself did not yet exist in 1841/42. The other German Catholic church that existed already back in 1841/42 was: Church of St. John the Baptist 210 West 31st Street New York, NY 10001 phone: (212) 564-9070 Unfortunately, I don't have e-mail addresses for either church. I would suggest that you call them on the telephone and ask them for their e-mail addresses, or simply ask them on the phone how you could arrange for them to check their old records for you.
