The Pope Did It?

[Craig Hipkins]

Laurie, You asked a question about catholic records. I do know from experience (as a cradle catholic) that baptismal records, holy communion, confirmation and marriage records are kept at the church or diocese that the event occurred. If Booth did convert to Catholicism there would almost certainly be a record of it. If I am not mistaken Booth attended church or at the least met with Dr. Mudd in Charles County Maryland at Mudd's church. This might be a possibility, or perhaps the records (if Booth did convert) might be located in the parish records of the diocese where Mary Surratt was a member. If I lived up in that neck of the woods I would be on it!!! I love a good mystery.
