During the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), approximately half of all the Catholic Church parish registers for the diocese of Granada were destroyed. In the 1980’s, FamilySearch worked with the diocese to capture all parish records that survived, and all the pre-marriage investigation files. The files have been indexed (part of the agreement when they were filmed in the 1980’s), however, only the bride and groom were indexed. | During the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), approximately half of all the Catholic Church parish registers for the diocese of Granada were destroyed.

All available pre-marriage investigation files, or ''expedientes matrimoniales'' were located, the genealogical content was extracted, and that information was added to each individual in the FamilySearch Family Tree. By investigating further into these nine towns, over 250 pre-marriage investigation files were located and each file added roughly four new individuals to the FamilySearch Family Tree.</p> | ||
