What is in This Collection?[edit | edit source]
This collection of church records for the period of 1634 to 1972 includes baptisms, confirmations, marriages, and deaths for the cities of Cachi, Cafayate, Campo Santo, Cerrillos, Chicoana, El Galpón, El Tala, Iruya, La Viña, Metán, Molinos, Rivadavia, Rosario de Lerma, Rosario de la Frontera, Salta, San Carlos, San Ramón de la Nueva Orán, and Santa Victoria in the province of Salta. Church records are the most important records for genealogical research in Argentina. The vast majority of Argentines were Catholic and were registered in the records of the local parish or diocese which are called registros parroquiales (parish registers). These records include entries for baptisms, marriage information, marriages, deaths, and burials. They can help you trace and link families. Often two and sometimes three generations are indicated in the records. In addition, church records may include church censuses, account books, confirmations, and other church-related records. In 1886 the civil government began keeping vital records (civil registration). If you are looking for ancestors who came before this time, then the Catholic Church parish registers are the best records available to identify these individuals, since church records were around for hundreds of years prior to civil registration. For civil vital records of births, deaths, and marriages after 1886, see Argentina Civil Registration (Registro Civil).
