The type and amount of information and detail recorded in church books varied over time. The later records generally give more complete information than the earlier ones. The most important church records for genealogical research are baptism, marriage, and burial registers.

A few Catholic records were kept in Latin. | The type and amount of information and detail recorded in church books varied over time.
