*Many times, duplicate copies of birth, marriage, and death records were sent to a parish's dioceses. These institutions also store marriage impediments, and other documentation that may be useful in tracing a parish priest. You can find contact information for dioceses at the website [http://www.conferenciaepiscopal.pt/v1/dioceses/ Conferência Episcopal Portuguesa]. | *Many times, duplicate copies of birth, marriage, and death records were sent to a parish's dioceses.

*It is recommended that the archivist always be contacted before planning a visit to the archive.

*In partnership with the Genealogical Society of Utah, the Portuguese government is digitizing the parish records in their archives. Images are made available first at the District Archives, then on FamilySearch. To more easily access the parish records, links to the portal Tombo.pt have been provided to link researchers to the digital record collection at the Portuguese archive. | |||
Access the records on the various websites as follows: | |||
*'''FamilySearch''' has browsable images that you navigate by clicking the '''Municipality''' and '''Civil Parish (Freguesia)''' where the person of interest lived, then select nascimento (birth), casamento (marriage), or obit (death) to browse for the specific record. <br> | |||
*'''Tombo.pt''' links to the digital images on the district archives website. This includes records not available on FamilySearch. Use the sidebar on the left of the screen to select the '''Municipality''' and '''Civil Parish (Freguesia)''' where the person of interest lived, then select year range for nascimentos (births), casamentos (marriages), or obits (deaths) to browse for the specific record. <br> | |||
*'''The District Archives''' provides two ways to access the records. There are links to access through the collection page and through searching the database. <br> | |||
**'''Collection''' takes you to the archive’s digital collection. Navigate to the civil registration records by clicking the link for Parishes (paroquias). Not all municipalities have digitized their civil registration records, but those that have digital records will be listed. Click the link to online records (acesso em linha) to access the digital images. The districts of Braga, Bragança, Porto, Setúbal, and Viana do Castelo have not yet made their collection inventories digitally navigatable. | |||
**'''Database''' brings you to the search feature for the district archive. Search for a specific municipality by typing “paroquia de [the name of the parish]” and click search. Navigate the results to see any digitized parish records. <br> | |||
The church records for the districts of Beja, Bragança, Castelo Branco, Faro, Guarda, Santarem, and Vila Real are stored at the district and the national archives. Both archives will need to be searched to be sure the records are available. <br> | |||
Collections with an asterisk (*) are in the process of being indexed. | |||
