Genealogy Basics: FamilySearch’s Antigonish Catholic Diocese Records – Revisited
Joe Petrie
BACKGROUND:
Two years ago, I wrote an article about FamilySearch‘s Antigonish Catholic Diocese database
for the Cape Breton Genealogy and Historical Association’s cbgen.org web site. The article is in
Records/Research. The article’s focus was on a database (in a number of databases called
community trees). Because of software changes, the article needs to be revised.
The following chart lists the 43 parishes in the 7 counties that provided records. The database
covers the 1811 to 1905 timeframe. Note that there is at least 1 parish in each of the counties in
the Diocese: Antigonish, Cape Breton, Guysborough, Inverness, Pictou, Richmond and Victoria.
The database contains 164,712 records (including some with blank surnames).The database has
mostly baptism records. There are also lots of marriage records. In addition, there are a few birth
records and death records. The last category (Other) seems to be a mix of everything.
