From: Angelique Richardson, director, Archives & Records
The Office of Archives and Records is happy to announce that you can now access selected sacramental records from across the Archdiocese of Atlanta through Ancestry.com!
Early in 2022, the Office of Archives and Records partnered with Ancestry.com to digitize our sacramental registers through approximately 1980 and our school yearbooks through 2016. (Yearbooks will be online later this year.) Due to privacy laws, not all of the sacramental registers that were digitized are currently available. However, the sacramental records will be released on Ancestry.com on a rolling basis as they meet the criteria shown below as set forth by Ancestry.
| Baptism and Confirmation | 100-year restriction |
| First Communion and Marriage | 75-year restriction |
| Death | 40-year restriction |
If you or your family members have a paid subscription to Ancestry.com, you can access the Archdiocese of Atlanta’s collection of sacramental records on their website at https://www.ancestry.com/search/collections/62456/.
If you do not have access to a paid subscription to Ancestry.com, it’s entirely likely that your local library does! You can visit your local library and access the information via their institution account.
[For parishes who had their sacramental records digitized, we will be in touch within a few months to provide you copies of the digitized records for your reference.]
