Parish archives maintain the parish books for their own parish. Most of the surviving parish records in Spain have been centralized to the Diocesan Archive. However, records that are not more than 100 years old and those that were never sent to the Diocesan archive are kept/stored in the parish archive. The parish records most common and most relevant to family history: '''baptisms, confirmations, marriages, and deaths/burials'''. | Parish archives maintain the parish books for their own parish.
