== What is in This Collection? ==
== What is in the Collection? ==
 
This collection covers church records from parishes in Baja California and Baja California Sur for the years 1750 to 1984.  
This collection covers church records from parishes in Baja California and Baja California Sur for the years 1750 to 1984.  
Often in Catholic Church records, separate books were kept for baptisms, confirmations, marriage information documents, marriages, and deaths. However, in smaller areas, all records may be recorded on one register. In larger parishes a separate book was usually maintained for confirmations, while in smaller parishes the confirmations may have been included with the baptisms. In larger parishes, most of the marriage banns (informaciones matrimoniales) may be registered separately. In smaller parishes, these records were included in the marriage entry or the confirmations may have been included with the baptisms or even with marriages. In larger parishes, a separate book of confirmations was usually maintained.
These records are in relatively fair condition, except for some older records that may be damaged and therefore  hard to read or missing some information. Most of the older records are handwritten in narrative style and follow a common text with some variations depending on the style used by the priest. Newer records are handwritten in formatted registers; some are even written in ledger style registers.


These records are written in [[Spanish Genealogical Word List|Spanish Genealogical Word List]]; see the section [[Mexico, Baja California and Baja California Sur, Catholic Church Records (FamilySearch Historical Records)#For Help Reading these Records|For Help Reading these Records]] for translation helps.

'''Search by Name by visiting the [https://familysearch.org/search/collection/1506640 Collection Page]:'''<br>
=== View the Images ===
Fill in the requested information in the initial search page. This search will return a list of possible matches. Compare the information about the ancestors in the list to what you already know about your ancestors to determine if this is the correct family or person. You may need to compare the information about more than one person to find your ancestor.

=== For Help Reading these Records ===
== What Do I Do Next? ==
 
=== I Found the Person I Was Looking For, What Now? ===
These records are in Spanish. For help reading the records, see the following resources:
*Add any new information to your records
 
*Use the information to find more. For instance, use the age listed in the record to estimate a year of birth, if that is yet undetermined
*[[Mexico Language and Languages]]
*Use the birth date or age along with the place of birth to find the family in {{RecordSearch|1307314|Mexico National Census, 1930}}. The census can help you find if your ancestors were married civilly or by the Catholic Church or both. Then you can proceed looking in those records for more information
*[[Spanish Genealogical Word List]]
*Compile information for every person who has the same surname as your ancestor; this is especially helpful in rural areas or if the surname is unusual
*[https://script.byu.edu/Pages/Spanish/en/welcome.aspx BYU Spanish Script Tutorial]
*Continue to search the records to identify children, siblings, parents, and other relatives in the same county or nearby. This can help you identify other generations of your family or even the second marriage of a parent
*FamilySearch Learning Center videos:
*Make sure to fully transcribe and cite the record entry for future reference

*A useful Coverage Table for Mexico Baptisms is available in the wiki article [[Mexico Baptisms, Coverage Table - FamilySearch Historical Records]]
 
*Check for variants of given names, surnames, and place names. Transcription errors could occur in any handwritten record; also, it was not uncommon for an individual be listed under a nickname or an abbreviation of their name.

== Known Issues ==
*Try looking through records in the surrounding localities. Baja California shares a small part of its northeastern border with [[Sonora]] and its northern border with [[California Genealogy|California]]. Baja California Sur is surrounded by water excepting the northern border it shares with Baja California.  
{{HR KI}}
*Civil registration records are also a good source of genealogical information. You should obtain copies of both church records and civil registration, when possible, since they do not necessarily provide the same information. For example, baptismal registers sometimes provide the names of the fathers of illegitimate children when the civil registration does not.
== Citing This Collection ==
*Your ancestor may have immigrated to another country. Search the records of nearby countries or immigration/emigration records.
Citations help you keep track of places you have searched and sources you have found. Identifying your sources helps others find the records you used.
