Mexico Catholic Church Baptism Records

=== Baptisms ===

Children were generally baptized within a few days of birth. Baptismal records usually give the following information:


 * infant’s place and date of baptism


 * name and status of legitimacy
 * parents’, godparents’, and sometimes grandparents’ names.


 * You may also find the child’s birthday


 * racial distinction


 * family’s place of residence or birthplace of parents


 * If a child died within a few days of baptism, or if a child grew up and married, this information has sometimes been added as a note.
