[ | No true national census exists for Spain. The closest collection that could be considered a national census is the [https://www.familysearch.org/s/collection/show#uri=http://search-api:8080/searchapi/search/collection/1851392&hash=Mrd8SMocDIIen2Q83tu%252B82PRagg%253D Marques de Catastro de Ensenada] (''Catastro''). The ''Catastro'' was taken for tax purposes between the years 1749 to 1756. The census included the kingdom of Castille and Leon.[https://www.familysearch.org/ FamilySearch ]microfilmed the ''Catastro'' where available in the historical provincial archives throughout Spain. <br> | ||
[https://www.familysearch.org/ FamilySearch] is currently working closely with Spain's [http://pares.culturaydeporte.gob.es/inicio.html ''Ministerio de Cultura''] to convert the microfilms to digital images. The [http://pares.culturaydeporte.gob.es/inicio.html Ministerio de Cultura] has published the section called ''Respuestas Generales'' on their website, found at: [http://pares.culturaydeporte.gob.es/inicio.html Portal de Archivos Espanõles (in Spanish)].<br> | |||
To date [ | [https://www.familysearch.org FamilySearch] has also began publishing the ''Catastro'' on it's website too. Besides the ''Respuestas Generales'', [https://www.familysearch.org/ FamilySearch] is publishing all other sections that they originally microfilmed. Those sections are: <br> | ||

You can also get access to the images for the province of La Rioja from their [http://catastrodeensenada.larioja.org/archivo.html website]. The Historical Provincial Archive created and maintains the website. The records have been indexed and is searchable from their website. The page is only found in Spanish. | |||
The [[Granada Diocese Tree Building Project | Granada Diocese Tree Building Project]] uses the ''bienes seculares'' section of the ''Catastro'' records from the towns in the Granada Diocese to reconstruct families that were living in Southern Spain that had their parish registers lost due to the Spanish Civil War. | |||

Local municipalities (''municipios'') took censuses of their populations periodically. In Spain you will find that the majority of the municipios began taking population censuses in the latter half of the 19th Century and continuing onto the present time, however, many census records exist for the 17th and 18th centuries. | Local municipalities (''municipios'') took censuses of their populations periodically.
