Six new browsable Archdiocese of Boston parishes

Today we’ve added 29 new volumes to Massachusetts: (Image-Only) Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston Records, 1789-1900.  These new volumes come from six parishes: Sacred Heart of Jesus (Cambridge), St. Charles Borromeo (Woburn), St. James (Salem), St. John the Baptist (East Boston), St. Mary (Quincy), and St. Thomas Aquinas (Bridgewater).  These parishes span the ethnic groups of early Catholics in Massachusetts–of course there are many people of Irish descent, but St. James (Salem) served Salem’s French Canadian population and St. John the Baptist in East Boston ministered to Boston’s Portuguese Catholics.  The two added Sacred Heart of Jesus (Cambridge) volumes complete this parish up to 1900.  This update adds over 6,200 new images to browse.  If you have questions about how to navigate this database, be sure to watch our how-to video.  We’d like to thank the following scanners for their help producing these images: Ross and Linda Weaver, Francis Alix, Eileen McCarthy, Jeff Erickson, Meghan McDonagh, Tim Belgrad, Angela Napolitano, Genevieve Niessen, Tom Dreyer, John Phlo, Alice Fristrom, and Kiera Breitenbach.  The new volumes are listed below:
