===Historical Background=== | |||
The first church in Grenada was French Roman Catholic and about 1718 the Notre Dame du Bon Secours Catholic Church. A tiny number of Irish Roman Catholic remained on the island as part of the Irish Brigade military contingent under Count Arthur Dillon and his brother Edward in 1779. At least seven early [[Grenada Online Genealogy Records | Roman Catholic parish registers]] (nearly 340 pages) have survived and have been digitized but not yet indexed. After 1864 RC parish records would have to have been formally kept. | |||
