Genealogical Resources

 

Membership gives you access to copies of the registers in which the sacraments of baptism, marriage, and burial were recorded at the California Missions, copies of Padrones or censuses we have available, and various other resources.

​

Unfortunately, we do not have the staffing or expertise to be able to offer assistance with genealogical research or translation of the sources.
