Illinois, Chicago, Catholic Church Records - FamilySearch Historical Records/Known Issues

Question 1
Question 1: Some records are missing. Where can the records be viewed? Answer 1: See answers below for information about known missing records and respective film numbers, if available, or alternate online location: • St Pius V Parish (Chicago: Ashland Ave) &gt; Baptisms 1903-1926 is missing page 94. • When an image is covered with an overlay, move forward to the next image to view a copy of the image without the overlay. Occasionally the complete image was not re-filmed and not available for viewing. Holy Family Parish (North Chicago) &gt; Marriages 1857-1916 &gt; Image 234 is an example.

Question 2
Question 2: The Event Type and Year Range (waypoint) title does not properly reflect the actual digital record content. How can I determine what digital records are likely to be found within a collection? Answer 2: The list of known waypoint discrepancies describes the event type or year range existing in the collection:


 * St Patrick (Chicago) parish waypoints with year span errors:


 * St Stanislaus Kostka Parish (Chicago: Noble St) &gt; Marriages 1869-1889 year span should be 1869-1882. There are multiple links to records of Marriages for the years 1869-1915 with the exception of the years 1884-1886.
 * St Jarlath Parish (Chicago: Jackson Blvd) &gt; Communion and confirmation index 1925-1943 should read as Baptism Index 1925-1930.
