Cincinnati Roman Catholic Parish Registers
Privacy rules have allowed Findmypast to release thousands of new Catholic baptism, marriage and burial records from churches in Cincinnati, Ohio. This includes;
- Over 22,000 new Cincinnati Roman Catholic parish baptisms now covering records up to 1924
- Over 28,000 new Cincinnati Roman Catholic parish marriages now covering records up to 1924
- Over 19,000 new Cincinnati Roman Catholic parish burials now covering records up to 1953
All of these new additions come from Archdiocese of Cincinnati and have been published as part of Findmypast’s exclusive Catholic Heritage Archive. The Archdiocese was erected by Pope Pius VII in 1821 and has a long tradition of being a place of worship for pioneers.
The Church supported the growing influx of German and Irish immigrants and by 1910, around 70% of Cincinnati’s citizens were Roman Catholic. These exclusive records detail some of the most important events in their lives.
