Italian Genealogical Group: Resources on Italian Parishes and Italian Catholics

Yet another collection contains material similar to the Hurley, Parish Journal, and Sharp collections. It is the Chancery Records, Parish Files, 1939-1985. This series consists of the Chancery Office files on individual parishes. The series contains official appointments of pastors, parish boundaries, some programs, newspaper clippings, an occasional commemorative journal and, for Queens County parishes, replies to Msgr. Sharp’s questionnaire. Those documents subsequent to 1964 and correspondence and documents regarding baptisms, marriages, etc. are restricted and not available to researchers.

Chronological List of Churches in the Diocese of Brooklyn (one for Kings and one for Queens). Revised by Sr. M. Caritas Bonifer, 1995. These brief publications list the parishes of Kings and Queens counties in chronological order. They are useful for determining what parishes existed at a particular time period. They are available for purchase for $2 each to cover duplication and postage.
