+==Definition==
+Church records (registros parroquiales) are excellent sources for accurate information on names, dates, and places of births, marriages, and deaths.  They are often referred to as parish registers or church books. They include records of christenings, sometimes including a birth date; marriages; deaths; and burials. Church records may also include account books, confirmation records, and lists of members (padrones).
