Hidden Gems within FamilySearch Films: FamilySearch has provided plenty of films that have benefited many of us in researching our ancestors. Sometimes it may be challenging to navigate through the films. In addition, many records are miscategorized.
This is the case with this film. This film is categorized as Cabo Rojo. But contains records from the Catherdral of Habana beginning in the 17th century. It includes Baptisms, Marriages, and Deaths that a researcher handwrote. See Below. In addition, three books: Vol. 1 Hojas de Servicios del Ejército Dominicano, Quito y su Origin Mitológico, and Familias de Cabo Rojo, (Puerto Rico, Ursula Acosta &
David E. Cuesta Camacho.)
