Huge thanks to Claire Santry for the heads up on this records collection:

Boston's Historic Catholic Records Online project to launch:

"The New England Historic Genealogical Society (NEHGS) has announced a historic collaboration with the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston, Massachusetts, to create a database of 10 million Catholic records dating from 1789 to 1900.

The collection will include baptisms, marriages and burials, plus first communions, confirmations, sick calls and deaths"

As I understand it, to begin with it will just be browseable records with no option to search by name, but work has begun on indexing....

Here's the link:

It should be a goldmine for a lot of Irish people in months/years to come!
