A preservation project of the records was made many years ago and generated films (microfilm) for many of the church records of Mexico. These films can be accessed in more than 4,500 FamilySearch centers located around the world. In addition to the films that can be accessed at these centers there are other places that have some of the films but the amount of films is very minimal in comparison. Today you can see the images of documents of some states of the country from your own home. The film records for some states have been digitized and put online for all to see. These images can be viewed on the website, FamilySearch for free. | ||
