Civil Records
Member-donated Records
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.
Many record sets in Cuba are no longer accessible because of their physical state.
The records below were donated to us in the hopes they might be of assistance to others. Such generosity is truly appreciated!

Citing online registries/information requires documenting the creator, record title, date, website name, URL, and access date to establish provenance. Effective citations for genealogy websites should include the specific database, collection name, and direct image links for the individual’s record.

These indexes were donated to the CGC by William Navarrete from his personal collection.
William copied these indexes in 1988, on his last trip to Banes. He was informed that these books are already sealed because of their deterioration.
