Civil Records

General Information

About This Page

Civil records are often difficult to acquire. The Cuban Civil Registry was not in effect until the 1880s but the different provinces established this practice at different rates.
For records prior to the 1880s, you need to use Ecclesiastical records.
This page offers general guidelines as to when the provinces and civil authorities were established in each province based on a report garnered in 1901.

IMPORTANT: Please contact, and credit, the CGC prior to using any part of this collection by sending an email to secretary@cubangenclub.org.
