Question 3
Question 3: When I click on the link in the Catalog stating “Mexico, Catholic Church Records are available online, click here”, I cannot find the records I am looking for. Where are the missing images located? Answer 3: Although there exists a super collection called Mexico, Catholic Church Records, many Catholic Church records have been subdivided by a State or District of Mexico into their own collections. These separate Catholic Church collections by States or District include:


 * Mexico, Chiapas, Catholic Church Records, 1558-1978
 * Mexico, Distrito Federal, Catholic Church Records, 1886-1933 *
 * Mexico, Guanajuato, Catholic Church Records, 1576-1984
 * Mexico, Jalisco, Catholic Church Records, 1590-1995 *
 * Mexico, Michoacán, Catholic Church Records, 1649-1909 *
 * Mexico, Morelos, Catholic Church Records, 1598-1969 *
 * Mexico, Nayarit, Catholic Church Records, 1596-1967
 * Mexico, Oaxaca, Catholic Church Records, 1559-1988
 * Mexico, Puebla, Catholic Church Records, 1545-1970 *

* These collections still have records located within the Mexico, Catholic Church Records collection. That is to say, not all of the records have been transferred into their individual collections to date. You will need to check both collections for records. There are no Mexico Catholic Church records online for the Mexican State of Quintana Roo.

Question 4
Question 4: Some pages appear to be missing. Are these pages available to view? Answer#4: This problem is due to the condition of the original records. Pages were filmed in the order they appeared in the original record. Pages can usually be found by moving forward or backward arrows several images. Ordering the film may or may not help with this problem. In addition, Aguascalientes &gt; Aguascalientes &gt; Sagrario &gt; Bautismos, 1701-1709 images 13-37 are backwards and upside down. You can order the Film 299424 and adjust the film position for viewing if a mirror does not work for you.
