March 17: “A Whole New World of Catholic Records”

On Tuesday, March 17, 2020, at the Brewster Ladies Library, we will be celebrating all that is Irish, as well as researching our Catholic ancestors, when Margaret Fortier will be returning to CCGS to talk to us about what Catholic records are now available and how to access and use those records .

This presentation covers the exciting developments in online Catholic records (both US and international), what the records mean, what information they contain, and how to find them online and off-line. It covers sacramental records, as well as other Catholic records (newspapers, parish histories, cemeteries, etc). Attendees will receive a locator chart for online
Catholic records worldwide.

Our meeting on Tuesday, March 17, will be held in the auditorium of the Brewster Ladies Library, Rte 6A, Brewster, at 10 AM. However, everyone is invited to come early, beginning at 9:30, to socialize over coffee and donuts.

In consideration of the library’s regular patrons, we request that you please park in the adjoining parking area, behind the Baptist church, next door to the library, unless you are disabled and need to park closer.
