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.

A typo must have occurred when someone entered 1810 instead of 1870.

Question #10: The browse point Río Grande &gt; Nuestra Señora del Carmen &gt; Índice de Matrimonios 1864-1868 refers to pages (or folios) that do not exist in the browse point Río Grande &gt; Nuestra Señora del Carmen &gt; Matrimonios 1864-1868, which contains the actual marriage records.

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.).
