 Introduction

The records of Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church, 1942 - 2001, were transferred for microfilming to the Center for Archival Collections, Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green, Ohio 43403, in September 2001, with the cooperation of Father Joseph P. Szybka of Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church.

The collection consists of baptisms*, first communions, confirmations, marriages*, 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.) There are records of Sts. Peter and Paul, Attica present in several books located at St. Stephen Catholic Church, St. Stephen, Ohio. The manuscript number for St. Stephen Catholic Church is MS 901. Located at St. Stephen are baptisms from 1894 - 1898, found in the baptismal book dated 1844 - 1914. There are also records for this parish found in the 1914 - 1957 record book for St. Stephen Catholic Church.

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