This update is the first published indexing project (Part 1C) of the original 3 Panama indexing projects. The remaining 2 indexing projects, Part A and Part 1B, are now in arbitration and could be released this year if we have enough volunteers to arbitrate. The recently published index contains some old records that had been extracted before without images and some new ones that had not been available before online. All records show their associated images. It covers mainly baptisms for the following regions: Bocas del Toro, Chiriqui (Alanje, Boqueron,. Bugaba-La Concepcion, David-Las Lomas, Dolega, Gualaca, San Felix-Las Lajas, San Lorenzo, Tole), Cocle (Anton, La Pintada), Darien (La Palma), Los Santos (Pedasi-Los Asientos), Panama (Panama), Veraguas (Canazas-San Marcelo, Rio de Jesus, Santa Fe, Santiago).
