This collection of baptismal records come from the Archdiocese of Cincinnati and have been published as part of Findmypast’s Catholic Heritage Archive. Cincinnati is located in the Southwest region of Ohio. The Archdiocese first started in 1821 and has a long tradition of being a place of worship for immigrants and pioneers. The Church supported the growing influx of German and Irish immigrants.
