Not true. It depends on the church. Maybe we could all contribute our
experiences re which churches can respond to genealogy requests and which are
too understaffed to do so? Here are mine...

Reponded Promptly
Old St. Mary
St. Patrick
St. Rita of Cascia (who holds records for the defunct St. Teresa of Avila)

Too Understaffed to Do Genie Research, But Invite You to Come in Person
St. Charles Borromeo (who holds records for the defunct St. Anthony of Padua)

No Reply
St. Anne
St. Gabriel

That's all I can find in my notes at the moment. Maybe others can contribute
more?
