== Records Offices == | |||
Many records in Mexico are created by the local government. Civil registration, including birth, marriage, and death records, started in 1859. | |||
*Every municipio in Mexico has jurisdiction over its own archives, which are separate from the state archives. | |||
*Some Municipios had sub-offices (oficialia) in other towns within its borders. These sub-offices kept their own records. The sub-office records are listed in the FamilySearch Catalog under the name of the municipio civil registration office. | |||
*Copies of the civil registration in the Archivo Municipal were sent to the state archives. | |||
*You can get information and copies of the civil records by writing to the municipio. See the [[Spanish Letter Writing Guide]]. If the local registration office does not have the early records, you may want to write to the state civil registration office. | |||
*Each municipio has two kinds of archives: | |||
:*El Archivo del Municipio, which keeps important genealogical record that includes wills and probate inventories, and lransfers and deeds. | |||
:*El Archivo del Registro Civil, which records vital records (births, marriages, and deaths). | |||
