St. John the Baptist Roman Catholic Church Registry Book

Perth, Drummond Twp., Lanark Co.

 

Transcribed from LDS Microfilm #1298996, #1298997, #1298998, #2032236

 

These entries are by no means ALL of the records from St. John’s.  These are just some of the families I have come across while researching my husband’s family over the years and have decided to share what I have found in hopes that someone might find a connection.  Some items were difficult to read, even with a magnifying glass, so I have added a “( )” or “?” around the letter, word or date that I am unsure of and have added what I think it looks like.  I won’t even attempt to add the page numbers or the entry numbers, only because half of them are missing, illegible, or badly soiled.  I have highlighted the families (the ones that I know of), which are connected to ours by using Bold Type.  Some of the records are almost impossible to read, due to fading, terrible handwriting, soiled and stained pages, but I will try to decipher the entries as best I can.

 

Key…

 

Type:

B =       Baptism

M =      Marriage

D =      Death

C =       Confirmation

 

Parents:          

(d) =     deceased

 

Misc:

B =       Birth

Y =      Years Old

 

Added Side Notes:

MN =   My notes (I will add whatever info I have on the particular individual, or a comment)

 

Note:  If there is no year listed under Misc for (B) birth, it means that the birth occurred in the same year as the Baptism.  For Death records, obviously intered at St. John’s, unless otherwise noted.  You will find that the records have several different ways of spelling the same person’s surname.  Don’t discount the various spellings.

 

h/o =     Husband of

w/o =    Wife of

f/o =     Father of

m/o =    Mother of

d/o =     Daughter of

s/o =     Son of
