These original parish registers are preserved in the
Archives of the
Birmingham Public Library as part of the records of the Episcopal
Diocese of Alabama. This database includes all information found in
the registers. The registers are available to the public, but because
of their age and fragility, it is not possible to make copies of pages
from the registers.
For defunct parishes, entries for all available years have been
included in the database. For active parishes, entries are included
up to 1950.
More than 200 of the people listed in the database were slaves. To see
a list of all enslaved persons click on
Limit to Slaves and then Submit.
Records for additional parishes will be added to this database as time
and staffing permits. If you would like to submit records for this
project, would like to have your personal record removed from the
database, or if you have questions about the project or the Episcopal
archives, please contact Jim Baggett at 205-226-3631 or
