Our Lady of Sorrows - Roman Catholic Church

Bushwick, Brooklyn, NY

This database contains an index of names within the records of Our Lady of Sorrows, a Roman Catholic Church formerly located at Morgan Avenue and Harrison Place in Bushwick, Brooklyn, NY. This German parish church was founded in 1889 and the early parishioners were primarily  German immigrants. The early records are perhaps the only place you will find a town of origin for your ancestors. The last baptism was performed on February 8, 1942 and the last marriage on February 15, 1942. 

The records in this database are as follows:
 

Baptism Records - (6,006) - 1890-1942

Marriage Records - (1,398) - 1890-1942

To aid your search you can replace part of the surname with an % such as Sch% and the search will return all names starting with Sch. Similarly, you can use a _ to replace a single letter if you don't know the exact spelling.

As part of our Heritage Preservation Program, members of the German  Genealogy Group have spent many hours computerizing an index to the various church records on this web site. We are grateful to the pastors of the churches for allowing us to make these indexes available to genealogists all over the world.

This project was coordinated by Ms. Elizabeth Acker Lovaglio. If you would like to contribute time to other current Heritage Preservation projects, please contact Ms. Lovaglio.
