Church Record Sunday: Sacramento Catholic Church Records and the State Library

While it would seem that a state library would be the place for materials pertaining to the government of a particular state. They can also be places to find church records. For past Church Record Sundays, I have previously shown other examples of church records that are housed in a state library. Today's edition of Church Record Sunday is the California State Library. One set of church records found there are Catholic Church records from Sacramento as well as the nearby towns of Folsom and Auburn.

This microfilm collection is found on the catalog here. The full catalog records states that the 21 microfilm reels contain: Reel 1: Baptisms, vol. I (1850-1855), vol. II (1856-1866), vol.
