Clerical Assignments
While some NEPA marriage licenses specify a church where a wedding occured,
others have only the priest and city, leaving researchers to wonder where the
church records might be found. Here are some NEPA priests and where they were
stationed and/or lived at various times, compiled from various sources. This is
not an exact science and many exceptions occured for many reasons. E.g., if a
priest was a relative or friend, a wedding or funeral might have been held
where the priest was stationed *or* he may have gone to the person's home
parish. If a given church was unavailable for some reason, another church may
have been utilized rather than a priest's "official" parish. Mission churches
varied as to whether they had their own record books or used the parish books.
