-==Information Found in Records==
+=Information Recorded in the Records=
-=== Baptisms (Bautismos)  ===
+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.
-Children were generally christened within a few days of birth. Christening registers usually give the infant’s and parents’ names, status of legitimacy, names of witnesses or godparents, and the christening date. You may also find the child’s birth date, ethnic background, father’s occupation, and family’s place of residence. Marriage and death information are sometimes added as notes. Registers in larger cities may also give the street name or family’s address.
+==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.
-Earlier registers typically give only the parents’ and godparents’ names and the date of christening. Later, the age or birth date was given in addition to the christening date.
+==Burials==
+Burial registers may give:
-You should obtain copies of both church records and civil registration, when possible, since they do not necessarily provide the same information. For example, baptismal registers sometimes provide the names of the fathers of illegitimate children when the civil registration does not.<br>
+*the name of the deceased and
+*the date and place of death or burial.
-=== Marriages (Matrimonios)  ===
+*the deceased's age,
+*place of residence, and
-Marriage registers give the date of the marriage and the names of the bride and groom. They also give the names of witnesses and indicate if either the bride or the groom was widowed. They often include other information about the bride and groom, such as ages, residences, occupations, names of parents, and birthplaces. In cases of second and later marriages, they may include the names of previous spouses and their death dates. Often a note is made whether a parent or other party gave permission for the marriage.
+*cause of death
+*the names of survivors, especially a widow or widower,
-Marriage registers may also give the three dates on which the marriage intentions were announced. These announcements, called banns, gave opportunity for anyone to come forward who knew any reasons why the couple should not be married.
+*deceased's birth date and place and
+*parents' names
-Couples were usually married in the home parish of the bride. Men typically married in their mid-20s and women married younger.
-Marriage Information (Bandos, Información matrimonial, Expedientes matrimoniales, Pliegos matrimoniales): The marriage information document is separate from the marriage record and can consist of several parts. These parts include:
-*An introduction that states the intent of marriage and the date of the banns.
-*Personal information on the bride and groom. This may include the names of the couple, age, if they are widowed, place of residence, place of birth, and names of parents and grandparents.
-*If this is a second marriage for the bride or groom, the name of the deceased spouse and the date of death.
-*If the bride or groom is from another parish, documents showing good standing in that parish. These can include baptismal records and when the banns were published.
-*If there was an impediment to marriage, a dispensation (exemption from restriction of marriage). For example, if the bride and groom were related by blood or marriage within the fourth degree, a dispensation was required from the bishop in order for the couple to marry. In such cases, genealogical graphs and interesting biographical information about the families will also be included.
-*The testimonies of two to four witnesses about the good standing of the bride and groom. This may include the witness’s personal information as well as how long he or she has known the bride or groom. Often, the witnesses may be relatives of the bride or groom. This document is sometimes three or four pages long.
-*A note at the end of the documents listing the date of marriage or if the marriage did not take place.<br>
-=== Burials (Entierros)  ===
-Burials were recorded in the church record of the parish where the person was buried. The burial usually took place within a day of the death, in the parish where the person died.
-Early death registers recorded the name of the deceased person, his or her parents or spouse, and the date and cause of death. Later records may also include the place of death or burial; the deceased person’s age, place of residence, and date and place of birth; and sometimes the names of survivors.
-=== Confirmations (Confirmaciones)  ===
-This record is made at the time of the confirmation by the bishop or his representative. It gives the date of the record, the name of the confirmed youth, the godparent(s) (padrinos), and signature of the bishop. This is a diocesan record, but a copy may be kept in the parish.
-Confirmations are sometimes included with the baptismal records in the parish books.
-=== Extract Forms  ===
-The following extract forms were created by Dr. George Ryskamp, JD, AG. These particular forms are designed to be used for Spanish research; however, they can help in other research areas, such as Italy, France, Portugal, etc. Click on the type of record form you would like to use and print it for your own files.
