Albanchez Baptismal Records

First off let me express my gratitude to the folks at Rootsweb.com for providing the space for this collection. Also I would like to thank the International Internet Genealogical Society for making this all possible.

I would also like to express my gratitude to DearMyrtle for her generous recognition of this site as a "Best of Internet For Genealogists" Site.

Now a little explanation about this collection. This collection includes photographs of over 3000 baptismal records from the catholic church in Albanchez, Almería, Andalucia, Spain. The majority of these records are in AVI format which is a motion picture format. Some of them are in JPEG format. The JPEG format pictures should be viewable within your browser itself without any additional helper applications. The AVI files can be viewed by getting a helper application if you don't already have one.

Some of these files are quite large. Some are over 6 megabytes in size. Most are around 60k-200K in size.

For those who have the microsoft access database program you can download an access database(about 450K) of the files.

I have also produced an html list of all the names available within this archive (warning: rather large file over 300K). This list can be searched using the search tools built into your browser.

If you have an idea of the year(s) that you are looking for, I would recommend starting with the table of years and then proceeding from there.

I will point out that many of these records are difficult to read and often use abbreviations. The index is my best attempt to extract the information from these records into a searchable form. If you find any errors or disagree with my extraction let me know and I will consider how best to change the index.

Good luck and happy hunting!
