I recently discovered that the Puerto Rico “Archivo General” has made some Archive records available online. This is great news for anyone interested in genealogy research! While not all their Archive records are public, it’s still a fantastic starting point. It’s amazing to think that we can now access historical records from the 1800s with just a few clicks. Who knows, maybe you’ll even find an ancestor in these archives. Either way, it’s definitely worth looking into.
