Indexes of Burials for San Juan Parish Records

San Juan Parish Records, Burial indexes for 1747 to 1908 are presented here. This was a little easier to put together following the guidelines I used for Baptisms and marriages. Fortunately, there was only one book of index that included the years from 1867 to 1892. Although Family Search has it listed until 1920. That is incorrect.

It was interesting to see that the books were not separated by race. Many of the books after 1796 include an index. In addition, there are not many books missing. For example, books 5 through 49 exist, except for Book #29 (1835 to 1837.) If my math is correct, that is about 150 years’ worth of records.

PART IV. San Juan Parish Records, Burial indexes, Military Books

• Book #3 reflects soldiers stationed in El Morro from various regiments.
• Years 1915 to 1936, the book’s format differed from what we usually see in other books. It is formatted like a ledger—an account of all the activities that took place at the church. Review this slowly and look at the index. From what I determined, this could provide valuable information about World War 1 veterans.

Service records of military men in Puerto Rico

• . There are two films. The one from FamilySearch is a poor copy. And one from the Library of New Mexico that has a better copy of the print.
