This guide is online at: https://tinyurl.com/TBHM-ChurchRecords

Records are listed in A-Z order by name of church. Most are in Erie County, NY.
Most records are on microfilm unless indicated by this book icon.

We add links whenever we find church records online. Most are at FamilySearch.org, which will ask you to register for a free account.

Some of these records are in Latin, German, or Polish, or have handwriting that is difficult to read

One microfilm reader-printer and one microfilm reader/scanner/printer are available on site. Please bring a USB travel/thumb drive if you wish to make scans.

Library staff are unable to offer look-ups. Church record searching must be done by you, someone you send in, or a researcher you hire.

Most of these microfilms are also available through the Family History Centers (FHC) of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, also known as the LDS or Mormon Church. They can be requested and used at your local FHC.

Much appreciation to the librarians in the Grosvenor Room at the Buffalo & Erie County Public Library for supplying the dates for most of these films.

Abbreviations used in this guide:

Mss.= Manuscript

St. = Saint

TBHM = The Buffalo History Museum

We are indebted to Dr. Edward Zimmerman (1928-2019), a professor of English at Canisius College. In 1986, he organized the project to microfilm most of these church records.
