*The Catholic Church has created several different records. The ''most used in genealogical research'' include: baptisms ('''bautizos, bautismos'''), marriages ('''matrimonios'''), and burials ('''entierros, defunciones, fallecimientos'''). Other records include: confirmations ('''confimaciones''') and pre-marriage investigations ('''expedientes matrimoniales, información matrimonial''').

*'''Pre-Marriage Investigation Files:''' The Catholic church records for the diocese of Granada, Spain located on FamilySearch.org include a large collection of expedientes matrimoniales, or pre-marriage investigation files. These records were created in preparation for the marriage of a couple and are treasure troves of genealogical information. Pre-marriage investigation files may contain transcripts of other documents (such as baptism records of the bride and groom), written permission from parents for the couple to marry, descriptions of how the couple were related, if applicable (sometimes including hand-drawn pedigrees), and more. '''The pre-marriage information files of Granada, Spain are organized uniquely on FamilySearch.org and may require some guidance to navigate. Visit the page [https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/Granada,_Spain_Pre-Marriage_Investigation_Files Granada, Spain Pre-Marriage Investigation Files] in the FamilySearch Research Wiki to learn more about utilizing these valuable records.'''
**The [[Granada Diocese Tree Building Project]] uses the pre-marriage investigation records combined with the ''Marquez de Catastro de Ensenada'' records to reconstruct families that were living in the Granada Diocese in southern Spain that had their parish registers lost during the Spanish Civil War.


*'''Tip: '''If you are researching after 1869, when Civil Registration started in Spain, both church and civil records should be searched since there may be information in one record that does not appear in the other.
