About Civil Records
Cuban civil records are often difficult to acquire. The Cuban Civil Registry was not in effect until the 1880s but different provinces established this practice at different rates.
For records prior to the 1880s, you will need to use Ecclesiastical records.
Use CubaGenWeb’s Cuban Addresses and Telephone Numbers for guidance. You will need to click on the current province of interest and then review the civil registries for each municipality within that province until you find the one that coincides with your ancestor’s place of birth.
