The collection consists of baptisms*, parish record, first communions, confirmations, marriages*, book of the elect and interments Due to inconsistencies in pagination and transcription of data, researchers are encouraged to refer to all volumes within each series. (See order of microfilming for a detailed list of these records.) Some text is in Latin.
