Gaps researching baptisms in Celaya - Family Search
By pcenteno |
I've been going through the Family Seach site, searching in Celaya for baptisms around the year 1630 The years jump from abt 1622 to the 1640s. Wondering if this is normal, or if the years that I'm interested in are missing.
Paul,
Gaps in the records are not uncommon and there are many sources. Sometimes volumes were missing, as these could have been destroyed (fire, water, rats, etc.). In other cases, a period maybe misplaced, and with luck sometimes you stumble to records in other volumes of very different decades, and sometimes centuries. My only recommendation is not to give up and keep on searching.
