Here's Grandpa's baptismal record. Even though it states that he was baptized at St. Vincent Ferrer's Catholic church, he was probably baptized in the chapel at the New York Foundling Asylum like many of the other orphans, This also proves that by the time he was three weeks old, he was already at the Foundling Asylum. The photo is Rev. Sheehan from
Google books The Catholic Church in the United States of America, Vol. 3 Plimpton Press (c) 1914 pg 372.
