| Cáceres is a province of western Spain, and makes up the northern half of the autonomous community of Extremadura. The province was formed in 1839, and is bordered by the provinces of Salamanca, Ávila, Toledo, and Badajoz in the south, and by Portugal in the west. Its capital is the city of Cáceres.<ref>Wikipedia contributors, "Province of Cáceres," ''Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia'', https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Province_of_Cáceres (accessed September 2, 2020).</ref> | |

| *Spanish civil registration records (government birth certificates, marriage certificates, and death certificates) began in 1871.
| |
|
| |
|
| *Births, marriages, and deaths were recorded by the local '''''Juzgado de la Paz''''', or '''''Oficinia del Registro Civil'''''. The records are still housed in their local municpal archives. In addition, Spain does have a '''national index or central repository for civil registration'''.<br>

|
| |
|
| *Some ''municipios'' (towns/cities) may have civil registration records beginning as early as 1837. Some of them have been microfilmed and/or digitized by FamilySearch.<br>

|
| |
|
| *Larger cities may have multiple civil registration districts, and smaller towns may have their own civil registration office, or belong to an office of a nearby town. To determine the political jurisdiction for the town where your ancestors came from, please see the [[Spain Gazetteers|'''Spain Gazetteers''']] article. <br>

| *The vast majority of Spaniards are Catholic, and so almost every Spaniard can be found in the records of the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church was the '''primary record keeper of births, marriages, and deaths, until civil registration started in 1869.'''
| |
|
| |
| *Some church records have been lost or have deteriorated due natural disasters such as fire, flood, and earthquakes. Civil and political strife has also caused record loss, including during time of the Spanish Civil War.
| |
|
| |
| *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''').
| |
|
| |
| *'''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.

| |
|
| |
| ==== Tips for finding your ancestor in the records ====
| |
|
| |
| Effective use of church records includes the following strategies.
| |
|
| |
| *Search for the '''birth record''' of the relative or ancestor you selected. When you find his birth record, search for the '''births of his brothers and sisters'''.
| |
| *Then, search for the '''marriage of his parents.''' The marriage record will often help you find the '''birth records of the parents.'''
| |
| *You can estimate the ages of the parents and determine a birth year to search for their birth records.
| |
| *Search the '''death registers for all family members.'''
| |
| *Then '''repeat the process''' for both the father and the mother.
| |
| *If earlier generations are not in the record, '''search neighboring parishes. '''
