What is in This Collection?

These records include indexes to baptisms, confirmations, marriages, and burials from the Catholic Church parish registers of the Archdiocese of Lingayen-Dagupan covering the years 1615-1982. Baptism records are only available for the years 1900-1914.

Entries for baptisms, marriages, and deaths (burials) usually consist of a narrative paragraph. Dates are usually spelled out and the name of the principal person is usually written in the margin next to the entry. After about 1920, preprinted forms with columns were sometimes used. Catholic Church parish registers in the Philippines were created to record the church sacraments of baptism, confirmation, marriage, and burial. See the Philippines Church Records article for more details.

Additional records and/or images may be added to this collection in the future.
