There were 4 Roman Catholic parishes in Zwolle- Hoornsteeg, Spiegelsteeg, Bogenkerk and Koestraat. There were no rural parishes in Zwolle, so Catholics living in Zwollerkerspel had to attend an urban parish- not necessarily one of the Zwolle parishes. Catholics formed about 20% of the population. Most Catholics would have been buried in the Dutch Reformed Church, and would have had to marry in the Dutch Reformed Church as well as in their Catholic parish. Their records tend to start no earlier than 1700. | There were 4 Roman Catholic parishes in Zwolle- Hoornsteeg, Spiegelsteeg, Bogenkerk and Koestraat.
