Images of parish registers recording the events of baptism, first communion, confirmation (to 1907), marriage (to 1930) or death (to 1956) in the Diocese of Belleville (Illinois), Roman Catholic Church. The index to some volumes may reference pages within a given volume beyond current publication dates. As such, these images are not currently available. In addition to traditional parish registers, this collection includes a small number of census, church history, family and financial records.
Some volumes have interior indices, but there is no built-in search mechanism. It’s like picking up a book and going page by page looking for your record. You should prepare by knowing which parish you need to access and date of the event. These are all hand-written and may appear in Latin, French or English, depending on who the scribe curí was at the time.
