Dear Rudy,

The following are microfilms I have on permanent loan at the Family History Center:

281,017 Bautismos de hijos legítimos 1769-1801 La Barca, Jalisco, Mexico
281,018 Bautismos de hijos legítimos 1779-1801 La Barca, Jalisco, Mexico
281,023 Bautismos de hijos legítimos 1828-1836 La Barca, Jalisco, Mexico
281,070 Matrimonios 1681-1768 La Barca, Jalisco, Mexico
281,071 Matrimonios 1768-1814 La Barca, Jalisco, Mexico
281,073 Matrimonios 1836-1861 La Barca, Jalisco, Mexico

These might be too far back for you now. I also think the 1930 Census is in the Bonita Family History Center. The # is 1,507,533 and 1,507,534.

Keep in touch.

Sincerely,
Patricia Burton
San Diego, Calif.
