Notes

Abstract:
The Parish Records Abstracts are the result of a research initiative undertaken by the Historic St. Augustine Preservation Board in the 1970s. The source material for these abstracts are the original parish records, written in Spanish, and held in the Diocesan Archives of the Catholic Diocese of St. Augustine, Florida (http://www.dosafl.com/diocesan-archives). They represent the records of baptisms, marriages, and burials for the oldest parish in the contiguous United States. The abstracts are brief English-language entries containing information drawn from the original records. For fuller exploration of the parish records of colonial St. Augustine, we encourage researchers to use the digital version available at the Vanderbilt University project “Ecclesiastical and Secular Sources for Slave Societies” (http://www.vanderbilt.edu/esss). Please note that the Parish Records Abstracts are not word-for-word translations. The creators of the abstracts extracted information out of the parish records and presented it in a standardized format. Transcriptions were made from microfilmed copies of the originals. Researchers should use the abstracts as a guide to refer back to the originals.
