I think the churches there belong to the Diocese of Fall River. Maybe someone who lives there can confirm. I swear I remember someone saying the records went to Mt. Carmel though. It's been a couple of years, so the possible exists that I don't remember correctly. Or was given misinformation. That

I originally did an inquiry to the church where it looked like the records were sent when the church closed. They told me I needed to go to the Archdiocses for that information. I sent an email to the Bristol Country Archdiocese archivist, but haven't heard back yet. Thanks, Paul for that f

Married by M.A. Silva in New Bedford. Anyone have the green St. John the Baptist book (it was celebrating an anniversary - 125 years? 130 years?? Not sure). I think it had a listing of priests and when they served. I can't find my copy at the moment. Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching:

In 1911, in New Bedford, you'd get married at St. John the Baptist. Sadly, that parish closed a few years ago. I believe the books were moved to Mt. Carmel in New Bedford. Do a google search and call them to verify the books are there. Cheri -- For options, such as changing to List, Digest, Abrid

Hi JR, Very interesting, except according to the naturalization papers for Antonio, he and Maria were married in New Bedford, MA on June 12, 1911. It also lists Maria as being born in 1891, though the headstone in New Bedford says 1890, so it seems a bit of an inconsistency, although since
