I am looking for ancestry information, what procedures do I need to take? If you are researching your ancestry, then you are well aware of the amount of time this takes. Due to limited staff resources, requested are completed as time permits. Requests should be emailed to the Business Manager with as much detail as possible — names, dates, etc. There is a charge of $50 per request…..checks can be made payable to St. John the Baptist and mailed directly to the Parish Office.
Requests are researched and answered as quickly as we are able. Parish records are private, the public is not permitted to review them. Also, we ask that anyone doing research does not just come to the office …. requests will not be filled this way.
