Fall River should take Boston’s lead eventually but they will need to be convinced that this is a greater good. My sense from speaking personally with some of the priests is that they want to be sure their records are being used by the families involved for genealogy purposes only. They take very seriously their canonical duties to protect the people’s information they are given. Unfortunately some LDS folks might have spooked the parishes into locking down their information. With Boston going forward with this Fall River will be watching and waiting to see what happens.
Providence, however, will be another story altogether… Just my two cents.
