The collection is predominately Protestant as only 6 of the 124 volumes are Roman Catholic. The remainder are the records of the Church of England, Congregational, Methodist, Presbyterian and Reformed Episcopal Churches. There are errors in these volumes as there would be in any transcription project of this magnitude. Some of the original entries in church registers may not have been clearly legible. Such entries would be copied as they were interpreted by the particular transcriber.
Some volumes contain births for years much earlier than the time frame noted for the baptisms.
Often, in the very early years of some parishes, clergy only visited some places once every few months especially during the winter season when travel was often difficult. For this reason, children were sometimes not baptized until months after their birth. There are also records of entire families being baptized at the same time when clergy would visit a particular area for the first time. The information contained in some of these volumes may not necessarily be complete. As an example, the Roman Catholic Harbour Grace baptisms and marriages were transcribed in Volume 42 and Volume 42A. Maiden names are not given for the women, but they were listed in the original church registers.
