Hi all,
I found my great-grandfather's civil birth, so now I'm looking for his baptismal certificate, slogging through the images. However, where 1861 should be (1859-1869), there's no 1861. I've skimmed through the whole file, and I don't see 1861 anywhere.
Also, there's an index for 1862, but the numbers next to names don't seem to match the entries. I wanted to look at Sanchez Celia (169), Cani (?) (235) and Sacramento (548), but can't finf anything. Very frustrating. Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Laura
Sanchez in Tepetongo
Laura, the numbers are for the page number not the Familysearch number
I found Celia Sanchez on page 199
I found Cruz Sanchez on page 235.. their fathers were brother and the grandparents are Simon Sanchez and Celedonia Herrera.

Laura,
The numbers next to the names represent page no.
You can find entry for Celsa (169) in image 199 (Right side at the bottom), Cruz (235) in image 235 (Right side at the bottom) and Sacramento (548) in image 413 (Left side at the top.
Good luck in your search.

I took a look at the online Family Search catalog for Tepetongo. There are two entires for church records. The first does not give any clues as to whether or not the 1861 church records exist, but the second shows gaps for 1860 and 1861. This suggests that the records may be lost, or at best not microfilmed.
Sometimes the records are out of order, or may exist in a another volume. However, from what I see, I'm not optimistic. But I would look in the marriage and IM volumes that cover that period just in case. Check the next volume of baptisms just to be sure.
Civil registration of births in Tepetongo begins in 1861. My experience has been that you often cannot find both church and civil entires for the children; you'll sometimes different children in each.
Sorry for the less-than-optimistic news.
