Church Records
This page was last updated 11 October 2008. |
Although this page is for church records of Rensselaer County, we have included
links to baptisms and marriages at churches in other counties nearby, as many
Rensselaer County residents were baptised or married in adjacent counties.
In 1942, the US government's Works Progress Administration (WPA) compiled
a list of churches and the records they then held. Pat Connors has posted the list for
Rensselaer County, NY on her excellent Rensselaer County website, and I highly recommend
a visit. You can go there and view the list by clicking
here.
Kathleen Gallagher Brearton,
Secretary of the Troy Irish Genealogy Society (TIGS), sends the following message about
offline Roman Catholic churchbook records: "I am pleased to inform you that four
volumes of St Mary's marriages, three volumes of baptisms and one volume of deaths
are now available in the Genealogy Room (Troy Room) at the Troy Public Library.
The records were produced by the American Canadian Genealogy Society,
headquartered in Manchester, NH. Many local volunteers worked to bring these records
into print. The baptism and death record volumes were a gift to the library from the
Troy Irish Genealogy Society. I donated the marriage record volumes in memory of
my paternal grandparents. St Mary's Church was established in 1843 and is the
second oldest Catholic Church in Troy. The library now has records from St Mary's,
St Patrick's and St Jean the Baptist."
