NORTHERN MEXICO CATHOLIC CHURCH RECORDS Parish Archives: Were confiscated as part of the overall confiscation of church property following Mexican Revolution. Many were microfilmed by the LDS with permission of the Mexican government in 1960s and 1970s. ■ Are now back under control of Catholic Church. Availability of Parish Archives to Researchers: At the whim of the parish priest and his availability and willingness. ■ Are often difficult to access. Some parish books have detached and out-of-order pages. Other records have suffered water damage or are missing altogether. ■ But LDS Resources are extensive and can be studied online at: https://familysearch.org/search/collection/list#page=1&region=MEXICO ■ The Hispanic Heritage Project is working with local parishes and archives in Sonora and Chihuahua to film more records.
