Howe Island Baptisms

These are records of baptisms for Howe Islanders
From St. Philomenas church Howe Island and for
St. Johns Church, Gananoque.

I recommend you view any records yourself and to
use this as a guide. I apologize for any transcription errors.
Not all of these are exact transcriptions of what is written,
but are of the relavent info there. In many cases I did not write
down the sponsors either.

Credit is given to those entries that have been submitted.

If you wish to submit any baptisms, either from a register
or from a baptismal certificate please email me!
Your additions would be greatly apprecitated!

I am also excepting baptisms for Amherst, Garden and
Wolfe Island, once I do, pages will be started for them.
