Introduction

The index is based on a microfilmed copy of Roman Catholic parish records made by the Genealogical Society in Salt Lake City, Utah in 1988. The birth/baptism records can be found in items 9 and 10 of film 1571873.  The death records are items 9 and 13 on the same film. These death records, except for a few early ones, do not list more than the name of the deceased and their age. Burial is presumed to be in the parish cemetery but a few of the earliest burials may have been in the St. Alphonsus parish cemetery.

This index is intended as a finding aid and is not to be used as a primary source of genealogical data. Rather than having to read the microfilm line by line, the index helps locate persons more rapidly. The index was prepared as a finding aid for my own research but other researchers may find it useful. Approximations of illegible surnames were made.

Ss. Cyril & Methodius Church marriages can be searched in the Marriage Index for Polish Parishes in Chicago through 1915.
