[TI] Descriptsion of Cathedral Archives.

[Laura Johnson]

No, this was the index transcription only.

The documents that Chick transcribed are NOT transcribed correctly.  
There are too many mistakes to publish them at this point.  He 
mistakenly read many of the entries from the old Latin writing and made 
too many assumptions of things that were not on the documents. 

The one thing that is VERY necessary to anyone who looks at the index 
for these baptisms it that we have NO way to tie these individuals to 
anyone who exists in the certificate database at this time.  We will 
need the documents BETWEEN these early baptisms and the 1820 records to 
bridge that gap.

Another thing to not is that most of the early baptismal records do NOT 
list a surname for the mother - just list her first name. 

Until I can find time to sit with my Latin dictionary full time on them 
and be able to correct, they will cannot be published.  We have been 
trying to finish the births and deaths thru 1910 first. 

At the present time, there are only 4 of us transcribing and Rosi 
filming.  Pam and I have been working on the handwritten births and 
deaths in the 1870's and these take extra long.  We still have about 30 
years of births and deaths to finish.
