As you go through the available Census records for Puerto Rico, as a community reminder, FamilySearch makes these records available via volunteers.  Please assist them with indexing their records to make them all easily searchable.  Just 30 minutes a day will help many of those who struggle to find records; including you.

Please note that this is not all that is available for the region, but it is a beginning of more being made available.

Below are records for the following municipalities.
