Bob,

First, apologies, quite right, Diocese of Brooklyn.

Second, thanks for posting the Archdiocese's policy. I believe you once posted that in reply to my query about church records.

However, in Manhattan, I have had mixed results. One parish refused me any records; years later they offered individual searches for $30 each, regardless of results. Most churches just ignored my letters. Brooklyn churches have always responded, usually with information. I don't know what the difference is!
