What to do when you find the
church where you would like some records? First of all, remember this list was found in a 1940 book and some of the above churches have closed, burned down or been renamed. So, first of all check the current list of NYC churches at one of the below links: Archdiocese of New York, a list of churches, addresses, phone numbers & history of church Search for a church, Archdiocese parish church search Once you find the church's address and phone number, if you live in NYC or visiting, call the church and make an appointment. Make sure you have a time line because most of the registers are not indexed. If you live outside the city, send a short letter requesting your record with a time line. Keep you requests small and your letters short. Don't forget to leave/send a donation to the church to express your thanks for their time. If you can't find your church in the current list, write/call the diocese office and ask where those records are kept. |
