St. Paul Parish is proud of its long history dating back to the Civil War era. To assist our archivist with genealogy tracking requests, you may download the request form below.
Scan or photograph your completed form and email it to st.paul.philly@gmail.com. When sending your completed form, please include your full name and phone number; you may be contacted should there be any issue downloading or viewing your submission.
If you are requesting a form for yourself, there is no charge. If you are requesting a form for someone other than yourself, there is a fee of $50 per certificate. If you want that certificate notarized, there is an additional $75 fee for each form.
After the initial request for records, a preliminary investigation takes place. If no record is found, there are no charges. If a record is found, you will be notified by email and payment is requested at that time. Payment can be made through Venmo (@StPaulPhilly – please note RECORDS). You can also pay by check payable to St. Paul Parish, Attention Archivist, 808 S. Hutchinson St. Philadelphia, PA 19147.
The archivist works one day per week and does take vacation time in the summer.
If you have any questions, please contact the Parish Offices at 215-923-0355.
