Toa Baja Baptisms in Puerto Rico
There are plenty of records online for a genealogist to go through, such as the Toa Baja baptisms books. While not all towns have books available online, consider becoming a member of the Sociedad Puertorriqueña de Genealogía (SPG). The society which has been around for over 30 years is a great resource for researchers. SPG books assist many researchers when the content is hard to find online. Membership is available via their website, Sociedad Puertorriqueña de Genealogía.
With this in mind and moving along to the subject of this post, Toa Baja, more great news to share!
We are all aware of dealing with Toa Baja baptisms records and the difficulties when attempt in reading some of the records. Many records are either falling apart or have horrible penmanship.
Many experienced researchers study these records and have transcribed them. Of course, these same researchers are now sharing their work for free. Yvonne Santana, who I consider an experienced researcher, is no stranger to transcribing records from around the island. Equally important, Yvonne is sharing her work with anyone looking for sources. Her valuable work makes it easier for all to find content. Ultimately, we cannot thank her enough for her contributions.
Note that this collection includes those enslaved and baptized in the municipality.
