MS 940 mf - St. Jerome Catholic Church (Walbridge, Ohio)

The records of St. Jerome Catholic Church, 1963 - 2002, were transferred for microfilming to the Center for Archival Collections, Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green, Ohio 43403, in February 2002, with the cooperation of Reverend William C. Parker of St. Jerome Catholic Church.

The collection consists of baptisms*, first communions, confirmations, book of the elect, marriages*, and deaths. Due to inconsistencies in pagination and transcription of data, researchers are encouraged to refer to all volumes within each series. (See order of microfilming for a detailed list of these records.)

*There is a seventy (70) year access restriction on baptism and marriage records. No restrictions apply to the remainder of this collection.
