I was not allowed to peruse the books, but the parish secretary Rosanne Zoeller looked in the books for my names. When she found one, THEN I could look. She made a copy for me too of the record. Unfortunately she's not real good at deciphering the old script, which may cause a miss or too. I lucked out and was able to determine the name she was trying to read. It was my jackpot too! She's very nice though and even led me to the cemetery record book held by the Wilde's, which led to a 99 year old lady who turned out to be related! This led to... well, you know! St, Joe's is on the NE end of town on Madison St. I don't know their hours, but I ran into her at St Pete's school organizing Bingo, so you may try there if no one is around. HOpe this helps! If you need more, I might be able to dig up a real address for you. Holly
