Nancee,
You can contact the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. They have a genealogy
office and can possibly do look ups. I use to belong to the Archdiocese and
contacted them several years ago on where I might obtain info concerning my
father's 1st Communion in Detroit, MI in 1917. I was surprised that they
had some reference info right there in the office. They most likely can
provide you with the info you want or refer you to a place where it is
available. I do not know if there is any charge for this, nothing beats a
trial but a failure.
Will
