*[https://familysearch.org/learningcenter/results.html?fq=place%3A%22Spain%22 Reading Spanish handwritten records]
Catholic Church records began to be recorded in the Philippines in 1569 with some records dating earlier. There was no separation of church and state in the Philippines until the end of the Spanish administration in 1898. Generally, parish priests recorded civil and ecclesiastical documents.

== What Can These Records Tell Me? ==
Catholic Church parish registers in the Philippines were created to record the church sacraments of baptism, confirmation, marriage, and burial.

*Name
 
*Date and place of confirmation  
<br>Parish registers consist primarily of entries for baptisms, marriages, and deaths (burials). The registers sometimes include confirmations or parish census records, and the baptismal entries may include a birth date.

When looking for your ancestor’s baptismal record, remember that the entries are arranged chronologically. Baptisms for illegitimate children may be listed separately or in another set of records entitled “Confidential records,” which may have been microfilmed.

'''Death/burial'''

*Name of deceased
 
*Gender of deceased
Usually, marriages occurred about one year before the first child was born. Elopements were common, sometimes involving a civil marriage prior to the birth of a child. Church marriages may have taken place later. Surnames of a married couple may depend on the income of one spouse’s family, rather than on the husband’s name. It is therefore wise to search for a marriage record under the surnames of both the parents of the bride and the groom.
*Age at time of death  
 
*Approximate year of birth
<br>'''Key genealogical facts found in Philippine Catholic Church death (burial) records are the following:'''<br>Name<br>Age at time of death<br>Gender<br>Place and date of death<br>Name of the spouse<br>Sometimes the names of the parents<br>Names of the surviving children<br>Cause of death

*Names of parents  
 
*Cause of death
Parish registers are the best records in the Philippines to identify individuals, parents, and spouses before the nineteenth century. After this date, civil authorities began registering vital statistics, and these become equally important. The information in civil sources confirms and supplements the information in church records. For instance, the parish registers may list the godparents while the civil records may list the grandparents. Be sure to search both the parish and civil records after 1860 since some families did not consistently register their children with either the church or the government.
