Title: Bapitismal Record Found- How to obtain?
Post by: melesande on Sunday 21 January 24 18:20 GMT (UK)

Hello There!

I was able to locate my great grandmothers baptismal record to Ballinabrackey Parish, in Co. Westmeath from 1886. It is not on the microfilms on the Catholic Parish Registers, but it is recorded, since I was able to find it on Roots.

I am wondering how to obtain a picture or a physical copy of this record. Any help would be appreciated!

Warmly,
Mele Hurd

Hi Mele
Have you tried contacting the church directly? (if you know where it took place).  I did this successfully with some Scottish Catholic baptisms.

Presume you have found the birth registration, as opposed to the baptism. 

Have you looked for it here?

There is usually a copy of the Register attached to the record.
