Does anyone know if when people immigrated to America they brought any sort of religous records with them, such as baptism, confirmation, etc., to give to their new churches here?

  • I do not know whether such records are transferred when moving to another continent, but I know for sure that all records are kept. I found information for you "Individual churches do keep records of the sacraments performed. That means they will have a record of every individual who was baptized, received the First Communion, and who was confirmed, as well as records of marriages and burials within the church".
    Hope it's helpful for you!

  • Ooo, I agree entirely with you. My mother collected information about our family and found a lot of information in such records. I think this is a big plus of the church and religion. I was interested in what is happening in other religions, what are the customs and features they have. As a result, I started watching documentaries and reading articles. Found a https://samploon.com/free-essays/religion/ , where a lot of interesting short essays on various issues. It was interesting to read about the connection between religion and the government, comparing religions and their impact on society.
    I think you will also find a lot of exciting things there, if you are interested in the topic of religion and history.
    I recommend to read!

  • I found what may be a baptism record for my gr grandmother Sarah Agnes Walsh/Welsh in Castlebar. The problem is I have found no definite records for her siblings. The residence for this baptism states the family lived in Drimneen, near Tourmakeady. DNA matches to me are from the Ballinrobe/Neale/Hollymount area. Had hoped to visit and look into what other church records they might have fir Sarah.
