Early Church Records, involving Curry and Ervin surnames:
Submitted by Lisa Rapose
Curry, Ervin/Irvine and collateral data from St. Joseph's Church, Winchester, Clark County KY
Subject: Some records info (baptisms, marriages, First Communions, Confirmations and deaths.
This is some info that I received from Father Saulino (St. Joseph's Church) Winchester, KY. He was kind enough
to look up my Curry and Ervin/Irvine lines in the earliest records that he has for the Church. Unfortunately,
the record books that he has only date back to the turn of the century. The information comes from different
portions of the records (which are in three different books): baptisms, marriages, First Communions,
Confirmations and deaths. The dates are not in order.
