Archdiocese of Boston: 5 new searchable parishes

Sts. Peter and Paul’s church from The Catholic churches of Boston and its vicinity… by William Augustine Leahy, 1892

Today we’ve added 5 new parishes to Massachusetts: Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston, 1789-1920. This update includes 34 new volumes, 137,666 records, and 470,647 names. The new parishes are Sts. Peter and Paul in South Boston, St. Mary of the Annunciation in Melrose, St. Philip in Roxbury, St. Bridget in Abington, and Sacred Heart in Newton.

Yesterday we announced the extension of the Historic Catholic Records Online project up through the year 1920. This update includes 1901-1920 records when available in these volumes.
