=Historical Background=
The International Religious Freedom Report, 2008, notes that a CID Gallup poll reported that 51.4% of the population identified themselves as Catholic, 36.2% as evangelical Protestant, 1.3% claiming to be from other religions, including Muslims, Buddhists, Jews, Rastafarians, etc. and 11.1% do not belong to any religion or unresponsive. 8% reported as being either atheistic or agnostic. Customary Catholic church tallies and membership estimates 81% Catholic where the priest (in more than 185 parishes) is required to fill out a pastoral account of the parish each year. The CIA Factbook lists Honduras as 97% Catholic and 3% Protestant.
<br>
In Honduras are thriving '''Anglican, Presbyterian, Methodist, Seventh-day Adventist, Lutheran, Latter-day Saint (Mormon) and Pentecostal''' churches.

=Information Recorded in the Records=
Different denominations, different time periods, and practices of different record keepers will effect how much information can be found in the records. This outline will show the types of details which '''might''' be found (best case scenario);
==Baptisms==
In Catholic and Anglican records, children were usually baptized a few days after birth, and therefore, the baptism record proves date of birth. Other religions, such as Baptists, baptized at other points in the member's life. Baptism registers might give:
*baptism date
*the infant's name,
*parents' names,
*father's occupation,
*status of legitimacy,
*occasionally, names of grandparents,
*names of witnesses or godparents, who may be relatives,
*birth date and place,
*the family's place of residence,
*death information, as an added note or signified by a cross.
==Marriages==
Marriage registers can give:
*the marriage date and
*the names of the bride and groom,
*indicate whether they were single or widowed and
*their ages,
*their birth dates and places
*residences,
*occupations,
*birthplaces, and
*parents' names (after 1800)
*the names of previous spouses and their death dates,
*names of witnesses, who might be relatives.
==Burials==
Burial registers may give:
*the name of the deceased and
*the date and place of death or burial.
*the deceased's age,
*place of residence, and
*cause of death
*the names of survivors, especially a widow or widower,
*deceased's birth date and place and
*parents' names
=How to Find Records=
