Church records were kept at the local parish of the church. The term parish refers to the jurisdiction of a church priest. Parishes are local congregations that may have included many local villages within their boundaries. In order to know which parish registers to search, you must know your ancestor’s religion and the town where he or she lived. It will also be helpful to know the parish to which your ancestor belonged in case there were several parishes in one large locality. | Church records were kept at the local parish of the church.

Small towns that did not have their own church building were designated to a particular parish. Some parishes had affiliated chapels (capillas foráneas). Over time, some villages or chapels may have belonged to several parishes as jurisdictions changed. | Small towns that did not have their own church building were designated to a particular parish.

Parish boundary maps can be extremely helpful when determining which parish church records to search. They can help you identify neighboring parishes if you need to search through the various parishes in a given region. Some church directories include boundary maps. Church records can be found at the local parish archive, copies of older records may be found at the archdiocese archive, and some old records can be found at the National Archive. | Parish boundary maps can be extremely helpful when determining which parish church records to search.
