Dominican Republic Catholic Church Records - FamilySearch Historical Records/Known Issues

Note
NOTE: For a way to determine what digital records are likely to be found within a collection or how to find missing images elsewhere, see Article 56000, Using Film Notes in the Catalog to determine the content of a final waypoint in Historical Records.

Question 1
Question 1: I get a message “Image not Available” for San Pedro de Macorís &gt; San Pedro de Macorís &gt; San Pedro Apóstol &gt; Bautismos 1926-1932, Defunciones 1921-1933, Matrimonios 1921-1925 and Matrimonios 1925-1940. Can I view these records? Answer 1: Whenever possible, FamilySearch makes images available for all users. However, ultimate rights to view images on our website are granted by the record custodians. Dominican Republic Data Privacy rules prohibit viewing all birth, death and marriage images after 1930. If any record on a digital folder contains birth records after 1930, for example, the entire digital folder is restricted. The Historical Records collections will be updated each year to show new unrestricted records. FamilySearch respects and strives to adhere to all privacy laws respective to preserving and providing access to genealogical records in its collection.

The films for these records can be viewed at the FamilySearch Library or some FamilySearch Centers.

Question 3
