Vizcaya Town Names

How to use this page
This page is designed to help a person researching in Vizcaya (Bizkaia). Many websites will list the Basque name of a town while the FamilySearch Catalog will give you the town name in Spanish. This table will help you easily convert the Basque town names into Spanish as well as give you links to the Catalog entry. Here are some pointers to help you understand the use of this page.


 * The Columns 1-3 are sortable. Use the sort feature to alphabetize the list by either the Basque or Spanish town name and the Parish name. By default the list is alphabetized by the Basque Town Name.
 * The "Parish Annex of..." column can be used to help you find the parish of a small town or the neighboring parish if your family is not found in the records. If either case happens try looking at the town listed in this column to help locate your family. The town names in this column are in Spanish.
 * There are three parishes whose records were not microfilmed. These are noted in the "Notes" column.
 * Some towns have changed names and this information has been noted where possible in the "Notes" column.
 * The "Catalog Link" column will send you to the catalog entry so you can find the digitized/microfilmed records. There is one parish (Ugarte) with two catalog entries. You may have to visit both pages to find your family.
