Parish registers are the best Mexican record to identify individuals, parents, and spouses before 1859. 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 of them.<br> | Parish registers are the best Mexican record to identify individuals, parents, and spouses before 1859.
