Locating Catholic Church Records in New Mexico
Introduction to the Project


Introduction to "Locating Catholic Church Records in New Mexico":

These pages will help you identify the Catholic churches that recorded your Catholic ancestors' baptism, marriage, and death. With each church name is a list of the microfilm numbers of that place and time, and a description of the records on that film. Please let us know if this project helped you find the records you needed, or if you have information to enhance or correct any of the material. (See Feedback).
New Mexico's Catholic churches are governed by three independent dioceses, and the 13 Colorado counties along the NM border are governed by another. This site is designed to help you find the right one.
