Is confidentiality required from a Church concerning someone's record of Church membership participation and/or attendance?

Well, it ain't in the Bible.

Geneology work would probably be a bit hazier without church records.

Yeah...the joke is that if you want to find a Catholic baptismal record, just go to the LDS archives...

Seriously, I was amazed at the epidemiology in the book "American pox" which estimated the deaths from Smallpox in the Southwest US in the 1700's by combing baptismal and death records in New Mexico Indian mission churches...

As for her being "raised" a Catholic: No biggie, except that Catholics have all sorts, from Hitler to Jeb Bush to Teddy Kennedy...but you DO have to be baptized to be a Catholic...

Truth in advertising...
