In other languages: EspañolWhat is a Church Directory?[edit | edit source]
A Catholic Church directory lists church archdiocese officials, dioceses, and parishes. Church directories:
- List the parishes in each diocese, so you can determine if your ancestor’s village had an established parish. It may also indicate if the village had a chapel but was not yet a parish.
- Sometimes provide the earliest dates for which the church records of each parish exist.
- May include historical information about each parish.
- Usually group parishes by diocese, so you can easily determine all neighboring parishes.
- Sometimes provide addresses of parishes, the diocese headquarters, and the diocese archives where additional records may be kept.
