Roman Catholic Births. Marriages & Deaths.....

Hi All,

Another post from my Jura site this morning.

Yesterday I mentioned the "Status Animarium" in my posting. I have since been asked what it is :

"The Status Animarium (translates as State of the Souls in English) is a
record of church members that was kept by the parish priest. It listed the names of each member of the household, their relationship, birth, death, and sometimes marriage. The entries were kept by household, and since one family often lived in the same house for generations, this one record source could provide generations of information."


Thought this might be useful information to some of our members.
