Archdiocese of Boston: St. Mary Star of the Sea (Beverly) now searchable

Today we’ve added four new volumes to Massachusetts: Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston Records, 1789-1900 from St. Mary Star of the Sea in Beverly.  This update adds 5,488 records and 21,265 names to search.

St. Mary Star of the Sea in Beverly began as a mission of Immaculate Conception (Salem).  The church was dedicated in Beverly in 1870, and in 1871 they became their own parish.  St. Mary Star of the Sea in Beverly also ran missions in Manchester and Ipswich, and as the Catholic population grew, a second church was built in Beverly Farms, called St. Margaret.

We’d like to thank Sam Sturgis for his help making this parish available on our site.  The new volumes are listed below:

St. Mary Star of the Sea (Beverly) Baptisms, 1871-1895
St. Mary Star of the Sea (Beverly) Baptisms, 1895-1900
St. Mary Star of the Sea (Beverly) Confirmations, 1898-1900
St. Mary Star of the Sea (Beverly) Marriages, 1871-1900
