About Islas Canarias - Ecclesiastical Records
Diocese of Canarias (also known as the Diocese Canariense-Rubicense)
This is a Catholic diocese in the Canary Islands, Spain. It is a Latin diocese that is part of the ecclesiastical province of Seville and is under the authority of the archdiocese of Seville. It includes the islands of Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, and Lanzarote. However, it does not include the entire archipelago because the Diocese of Tenerife, or Nivariense, covers the Province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
Diocese of San Cristóbal de La Laguna (also called Diocese of Tenerife or Diocese Nivariense)
This is a diocese located in the city of San Cristóbal de La Laguna in the Canary Islands and a suffragan in the ecclesiastical province of the Archdiocese of Sevilla in Spain. The diocese includes the islands of Tenerife, La Palma, La Gomera and El Hierro, in the province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
Many Cubans have ancestors who migrated from the Canary Islands to Cuba.
