About

St. Paul Catholic Church is one of the oldest existing churches in Lexington. The records for the parish go back to 1854. The ledgers are part of the church's historical archive, and contain unique records for Lexington's history. Bishop Stowe, the bishop of the Lexington diocese, has given permission for ledger records more than 100 years old to be made public.
This Baptismal Ledger covers the years 1907-1925.
The baptismal ledger contains the date of baptism, name of the child, parent names, date of birth, sponsor names, and the name of the priest who performed the baptism. In some cases, the person's marriage is recorded in the baptismal ledger, giving the name of their spouse, when and where they were married, and the witnesses. Each record spans two pages.
