Comment by James P. LaLone on February 7, 2012 at 7:46am: The LDS (FamilySearch.org) has released the Ontario Catholic Parish Records on their website. See:

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1951-24494-12670-27?cc=192... .

for the list of counties covered. You can access these records by clicking on the county, then the town or city, and then the parish.

If the link above does not work, go to www.familysearch.org, under browse by location, choose Canada, choose, Ontario, Roman Catholic Church Records 1760-1923, and then, browse by location, which leads you to the list of counties.

The records released are images from the microfilms that have been available for rent or are on permanent loan at the LDS/FamilySearch centers.

Although these records are not indexed, the image quality is often better than those found in the Drouin collection from Ancestry.com.
