In the Episcopal church individual parishes serve as the primary record-keepers of baptisms, confirmations, marriages and burials. If you are looking for any of these records, please inquire first to the church where the sacrament was performed.
Parish and diocesan records from more than 30 years ago are stored in the Special Collections Department of the University of Rhode Island Library. For more information URI Special Collections Librarian, Assoc. Prof. Sarina Rodrigues, can be reached by e-mail or by telephone at (401) 874-2594.
