 The records from Navarra (or the purple portion on the map above) have not been completely digitized or indexed. You will find that the few records that are available online will be found at FamilySearch.org. We recommend that you use a combination of the FamilySearch Catalog and FamilySearch Record Search to find your records.
+The records for País Vasco (or the blue portion of the map above) are mostly indexed. Some of the records are available digitally on FamilySearch but there are restrictions. You will probably need to visit your local family history center or the Family History Library to view the records digitally or on microfilm. You can order the records for a small fee by contacting the archive website. In order to search through the indexed records for all three provinces you will want to use the following website:
+[[https://dokuklik.euskadi.eus/ https://dokuklik.euskadi.eus/] - There are only records listed on this website 1900 or earlier.
+If your ancestors are from Vizcaya you can also use the following website:

+===Municipal Census Records===
+These are a valuable resource but can be difficult to find. These records were made by the different cities and their purpose for creation varies between each census. These records are usually found in the town the census was taken and are only found onsite. For the French Basque area you can find them in the Department Archive in Bayonne.
+===Notarial Records===
+These are legal documents created by a notary (who performs the function of a contract lawyer). To learn more about this record set go to the [[Spain_Notarial_Records|Spain Notarial Records]] page in the wiki.
+There are two locations online that you can find these records, in all other cases you must visit the archives in Spain. In both of these cases they are not all available but they do have a large portion of the records. For the French Basque area you can find them at the following website:

+The other area you can find these are for Guipúzcoa on this website:
