Catholic Church Census Censo Oficial De 1920 Guam

This census was compiled by the Catholic Church, completed between 1919 and 1920. It includes Catholics, also some Protestants and pagans. The census lists family members, some lineage and names of deceased spouses. It also includes additional information, such as family member living in Saipan, US Mainland, natural children, civil unions

A surname index is found in Paul Souder's Familian Chamarro. Some pages of the census have two numbers, one at the top and one at the bottom. Be sure to check both if using the index or the page numbers from Souder. Some pages for areas outside of Agana are out of order (although numbered consecutively). Not part of the public domain but provided for public research. A copy is on deposit at the Richard F. Taitano Micronesia Area Research Center, University of Guam, Mangilao, Guam. For more information see Guam Compiled Genealogies.
