I am writing this post more for myself than for any other reason. The records of the Catholic Church, including images, of Durango, Mexico are now available on Family Search. The date range for these records is from 1604 to 1985.
May I just say how much hope that gives me as a New Mexico genealogy researcher?
Most often, records from New Mexico were forwarded to Durango. Pre-marriage investigations and marital dispensations came from Durango. One can hope that marriage and baptism records that were later lost or destroyed might exist in duplicate in Durango. Since most of the records prior to the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 were destroyed, my hope is that they are duplicated in Durango's records.
Those records can be viewed here.
