Because the Catholic Church continued keeping records after the creation of the civil registration in 1886, two types of records are available for the marriages.

Divorces are not recorded with the civil registration, but rather in the courts. The FamilySearch Library has very few divorce records in its collection. You may obtain information from divorce records by contacting the court of the town or municipality where the divorce took place. | Divorces are not recorded with the civil registration, but rather in the courts.
