For privacy reasons, neither the original registers or the microfilmed copies are available for public perusal. A twenty four hour service is provided for the microfilmed material, including a certified copy of the information printed on parchment. Requests involving entries in registers still in use in parishes will take longer to process. A Request Form can be obtained from the Diocesan Archivist whose address appears below or downloaded from this site. This provides for the name of the person, the type of event, the date and place of the event and other information helpful in making a precise and exhaustive search.
Researchers sometimes require details of a number of members of a family.
This can be done and the cost will reflect the time taken for the research and the amount of detail required. This is a very popular resource for historical research. A database is also being constructed on all church buildings erected in the diocese. This is a long range project. Hard copies of later publications are held.
