The Archdiocese of New York does not have a centralized, searchable database of all sacramental records. Like most dioceses, each parish keeps its own records of baptisms, first communions, confirmations, marriages, and funerals. To obtain a copy of your sacramental record, you will need to contact the parish where the sacrament took place.
You can find all parishes in the Archdiocese of New York on our Parish Finder.
The Archdiocese of New York includes Manhattan, the Bronx, and Staten Island, as well as Dutchess, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Sullivan, Ulster, and Westchester counties. If your parish was located in Brooklyn or Queens, please refer to the Diocese of Brooklyn and Queens. For Nassau or Suffolk county, please refer to the Diocese of Rockville Centre.
If you are unsure of the parish where your sacrament was performed but believe it is located in the Archdiocese of New York, or if it has since merged or closed, please complete this form here and the Archdiocese of New York Archives office will help you locate the parish.
If you are looking for a record created prior to 1930 for genealogical research purposes, you can request it through the Archives of the Archdiocese’s Genealogy research portal. To learn more about this, you can visit their webpage here.
