| === Emigration from Spain ===
| |
|
| |
|
| Before 1775, most of the emigrants from Spain came from the regions of Castilla, Andalucía, or Extremadura. The people from Cataluña, Aragón, Galicia, and Vascongadas were excluded from the Americas by the Court of the Indies (Consejo de Indias). After 1775, Carlos III of Spain gave permission to all Spaniards to colonize any part of Spanish America. Emigrants from Spain left records documenting their migration in the port of departure as well as in the country they moved to.
| |
|
| |
| People desiring to emigrate from Spain or those migrating within the colonies in South America were required to register at the time of departure. Some of these records include:
| |
|
| |
| *Permissions to emigrate
| |
| *Probates of relatives who stayed
| |
| *Church records (annotations)
| |
| *Passports
| |
| *Court records
| |
|
| |
| These records are not available for research at the Family History Library but may be found at the national archives of the departure country.
