Ancestry updates Index to Boston Archdiocese RC Sacramental Records

The records are being digitised by the NEHGS
Ancestry has updated its relatively new Boston, Massachusetts, Catholic Sacramental Records, 1789-1900 Index.

The Index, which joined Ancestry in November, links to images of RC records from the Boston Archdiocese (Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont) held on AmericanAncestors.org, the website of the New England Historic Genealogical Society (NEHGS).

When first uploaded, the Index had more than 415,000 records. This month's update sees the database grow by 85% to 771,876 records. Definitely worth another search to see if your Irish ancestors have showed up!
