In 1850 a law was passed requiring registration of births and deaths throughout the country. Until 1870 the Catholic Church was required to keep these record. After 1870 these records were to be kept by the justices of the peace. Compliance was not immediate.

Be sure to search both records, especially because the two records sometimes contain different information.<br> | Because the Catholic Church continued keeping records after the creation of the civil registration, two types of records may be available for births, marriages, and deaths.
