ROMAN CATHOLIC

The Roman Catholic Church in Ontario maintains a regional archives system. Always check the geographical collecting boundary for each archive. The holdings of each archives go back only to when that Diocese was formed. For earlier records, check the archives for the Diocese that originally administered that region (e.g. Diocese of Hamilton material before 1856 is at the Toronto or Kingston Diocesan Archives).

Most of the sacramental registers (baptisms, marriage, burial and confirmation registers) have been filmed by the Latter Day Saints (with the exception of the Hamilton diocese) and are available up to 1910 on loan through the various LDS family history centres. The microfilming was done so that priests in the local churches did not have to deal with genealogical inquiries. Individual churches do not have the staff to cope with genealogical requests.
