Notarial records | ==Philippines Notarial Records== | ||
The Family History Library has an excellent collection of notarial records from most provinces of the Philippines. Although difficult to use, they can provide valuable information. | |||
Notarial records are written in English, Spanish, and various Philippine dialects. Some are indexed, but most are not. To use these records you need to know: | |||
*The date your ancestor used the services of a notary. | |||
*The notary’s name. | |||
*The province where your ancestor lived. | |||
*The place where the document was notarized. | |||
Notarial records are in the Locality section of the FamilySearch Catalog under Notarial Records: | |||

A few notarial records are from provinces (1900–70), but most are from Manila (1700–1970). | BUENAVISTA - NOTARIAL RECORDS | ||
