Where are Burial records kept?
Each individual parish keeps records of baptism, first communions, confirmations, marriages and funerals. There is no central filing system in the Archdiocese of New York. In order to obtain these records, you must contact the parish. Please utilize our online search for a parish page. For a list of parishes by date established and borough/county, please click here.
If the parish is not listed, or if the parish has merged and you are unsure where the records may reside, please send your concern in writing to the Vicar General's Office. The Vicar General's Office will be happy to provide a listing of the parishes in the area in which a relative was married. Please send a self-addressed stamped envelope with your request to the address below, and we will be happy to send you a listing of parishes in the area that have been merged.
