Retrieve 1870 Baptism Record
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I need someone who can physically visit the archives of the Catholic Diocese of Green Bay (parish does not have it, I've talked to them) and locate the baptismal entry for my ancestor, Philomeme Houle, born March 1870 in Shawano, Wisconsin. At that time Shawano had only one Catholic church, so the volume you need to consult should be clear once you are on-site.
What I am after is a clear, high-resolution color digital copy (JPEG or PDF) of the original register page that contains Philomeme’s baptism and a physical certified copy, if that is possible. Please capture the entire page so surrounding entries and margins are visible, then supply a zoomed crop of the single line for easy reading.
Key details to guide your search
• Child’s name: Philomeme Houle
• Date of birth: March 1870 (exact day unknown)
• Place of birth: Shawano, Wisconsin, USA
• Parents: Gabriel Houle (father) and Emilie Cote (mother)
Scope of work
1. Arrange on-site access with the diocesan archivist or the parish office.
2. Locate the baptismal register covering March 1870 and minths following.
3. Photograph or scan the page following archive guidelines.
4. Deliver the images to me via Google Drive, Dropbox, or email within 48 hours of your visit.
Acceptance criteria
• Image is in focus, full-color, minimum 600 dpi.
• All notation on the page is legible.
• File is delivered in a common format (JPEG, PNG, or PDF).
When you respond, briefly outline your experience with archival or genealogical look-ups in Wisconsin (or similar repositories) and confirm you are able to travel to Green Bay. Feel free to note any familiarity you already have with the diocesan procedures or local parish offices; that will help me choose quickly.
