The Chancery Archives at St. Patrick's Seminary at 320 Middlefield Road, Menlo Park, California has a large collection of microfilmed church records (Baptismal and Marriage) that include most or all of the churches within the original San Francisco Archdiocese. Therefore they have church records from the north bay such as Vallejo and Benecia, to San Jose in the South Bay. I was able to find the marriage and baptismal records for many of my relatives. The marriage records are quite useful because they tend to include the names of the parents, where the Civil Records usually do not have that information. The only thing is that it is a relatively small operation at the Archives and they are only open Monday's and Wednesday's from around 8 am to 4 pm. There is only 1 microfilm reader so you have to call ahead and make a reservation to come in and view the films to make sure no one else is scheduled to come in that day. There is also no way to make copies of the microfilm records besides taking photos of the screen (which works fairly well with a steady hand and not using the flash on the camera). Anyways, if anyone has any questions, comments, or additional information to add, feel free to comment. Thanks, David -- To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected].
