Question 9
Question 9: Where can I find Río Piedras &gt; Nuestra Señora del Pilar &gt; Defunciones 1871-1873? Answer 9: Defunciones 1810-1873 should read as Defunciones 1870-1873. There was no corresponding film for Defunciones 1810-1873, and that there was no waypoint for Film 2237962: Defunciones, 1870-1893 (oct.) covering the years 1870-1873. A typo must have occurred when someone entered 1810 instead of 1870.

Question 10
Question 10: The waypoint Río Grande &gt; Nuestra Señora del Carmen &gt; Índice de Matrimonios 1864-1868 refers to pages (or folios) that do not exist in the waypoint Río Grande &gt; Nuestra Señora del Carmen &gt; Matrimonios 1864-1868, which contains the actual marriage records. Where can these pages be found? Answer 10: Unfortunately, Pages 71-250 (and the years 1868-1883) are missing from Río Grande &gt; Nuestra Señora del Carmen marriage records, online and in the Catalog. Page 70 is the last page within Matrimonios 1864-1868, and Matrimonios 1883-1887 starts with Page 251. You will not find the pages on Film 2238190, Item 5: Matrimonios v. 2, (may.) 1864-1868 (mar.), or Film 2238099: Item 1-3: Matrimonios v. 2-4, (dic.) 1863 [1883]-1944 (aug.).
