My friend's family were "Eastern Rite Catholics" who lived near Trembowla. Where would he write for, or look for Birth-Marriage-Death records? Were Eastern Rite records recorded with Greek Catholic records? He is researching records for his family prior to 1909. Thank you for your guidance. Most sincerely - judy

Hi Judy,

Eastern Rite Catholics and Greek Catholics are one and the same. Trembowla had both a Roman Catholic Parish and a Greek Catholic/Eastern Rite Catholic Parish. LDS films are available for the Greek/Eastern Rite Parish and can be viewed online but only by signed in members of Family Search supporting organizations or if you view the images at a Family History Center. I don't know why or what organizations are "supporting".

The attachment shows what records are available.

Hope this info helps you and your friend.
