Additional Resources[edit | edit source]
Most pre-1900 genealogical material is written in Spanish, although you will also occasionally find records in Latin, French, Dutch, or Hebrew. You do not need to be fluent in Spanish to research Philippine records. Language aids can give you the language information you need.
For word lists and help researching in Philippine records, see:
