Great site gracias! Do you know if there is any way to access digitized records from Vega Alta before 1885? Also if San Juan archives holds copies from Vega Alta? Can one can make an appointment to view the records?
Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, church records for Vega Alta before 1885 are not accessible online. If you’re seeking specific records, you’ll need to identify the individuals you’re looking for and reach out to the church in Vega Alta directly. Request a copy of the record you need from the church. They won’t conduct investigations, but they will contact the Sociedad Puertorriqueña de Genealogía (SPG) on your behalf to try and locate the record. If successful, the SPG will send a copy to the church. However, you’ll be responsible for paying the official record fee charged by the church. I hope this information proves helpful.
Emocionada tener acceso a esto tesoros informativos. GRACIAS
