May I suggest that many of the church archives in Spain have been microfilmed and are available in central research archives. If you consult www.familysearch.com under the tab "Family History Library Catalog" you may be able to find the index to such microfilmed records for the area of your inetrest. Thus, it may not be necessary go to the parish and disturb the priest to look at the original manuscripts. You can obtain the same information by viewing a copy on microfilm. You can also view many different records in one location. -- Donald R. Newcomb Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/
