 Introduction

The records of St. Adalbert Catholic Church, 1908 - 2001, were transferred for microfilming to the Center for Archival Collections, Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green, Ohio 43403, in May 2001, with the cooperation of Father Marek Ciesla of St. Adalbert Catholic Church, Toledo, Ohio.

The collection consists of baptisms * , first communions, confirmations, Book of the Elect, marriages * , interments and deaths. 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.)

This register and this collection was prepared by Jennifer Golis in June 2001.

* There is a seventy (70) year access restriction on baptism and marriage records. No restrictions apply to the remainder of this collection.

 Agency History

St. Adalbert Catholic Church was established, in 1907, as a division of St. Hedwig Catholic Church. It is a Polish parish.

The parish began building their combination church and school in 1908. Their first pastor was Reverend Joseph Wachowski. This was a fast growing parish and the church and school soon became overcrowded. Because of this the parish decided to build a new church and school. This was completed in 1928. It is still in use today.
