More than 30 Chihuahua parishes have records that go
back to the 1700s, and some of the largest cities have
records back to their earliest years: Cusihuiriachic (1670),
Chihuahua (1709), Parral (1632) and Allende (1662).
Chihuahua was established in 1707, and its church records
began soon after (1709). The Parral silver mines were
discovered in 1631, and their records go back to 1632.
Although the mines of Santa Barbara were first discovered
in 1567, their church records only go back to 1679.
With the exception of some of the larger cities, many
Chihuahua church records with the FHL are incomplete
collections, with some sporadic and out-of-order records
and gaps that cross many years.
117 locations. The larger municipios usually have good
coverage, while smaller areas have spotty records.
