St Stephens Catholic Church Baptisms
1856-1857
Transcribed from the originals on microfilm at Kenton County Library, Covington, KY.
These records are difficult to read due to fading, some bleeding of ink and some spills on them. The originals are in Latin with some German. The writing is difficult to read. There are some illegible records. I have left the spelling as the priest wrote it. I have included as much information as I could decipher.
The dates are difficult to read, so please verify dates. Rev Charles Scafroth baptized infants from around March 1855 –April 1856; Rev. Lentner took over then. Rev. Bupra? performed the 1857 baptisms (He did not include the father’s last name in the record)
