Known Issues
NOTE: For a way to determine what digital records are likely to be found within a collection or how to find missing images elsewhere, see Document 114052, How to use Film Notes in the Catalog to determine the content of a final browse point in Historical Records.

Question #1: The Event Type and Year Range (browse point) title does not properly reflect the actual digital record content. Is there a way to determine what digital records are likely to be found within a collection? Answer #1: The following list of known browse point discrepancies describes the event type or year range that actually exist in this collection:


 * Chiquimula &gt; Chiquimula &gt; Nuestra Señora de la Asunción &gt; Matrimonios 1926-1931 and Defunciones 1699-1778 have records that are transposed. The marriage records are in Defunciones 1699-1778; and the death records are in Matrimonios 1926-1931.
 * Quiché &gt; Santa Cruz del Quiché &gt; Santa Cruz&gt; Bautismos 1847-1931 contains Bautismos 1929-1931 and Confirmaciones 1847-1912 (see Film Notes for Film 794798). The confirmations start with image 281 to End of roll.

Question #2: Some records are missing. Where can they be viewed? Answer #2: See answers below for information about known missing records and their respective film numbers, if available, or alternate online location.


 * Chimaltenango &gt; Tecpán &gt; San Francisco &gt; Bautismos 1788-1813 is missing page 4 from Item 2. The page is not found on the microfilm.

Question #3: I cannot make heads or tails out of several browse points in Guatemala &gt; Mixco &gt; Santo Domingo. Would you breakdown the contents of these browse points? Answer #3: By reviewing the Catalog Film Notes located in Registros parroquiales, 1719-1931; Iglesia Católica. Santo Domingo (Mixco, Guatemala), you can better understand the content of the browse points. The following browse points have been identified as having a ‘complex’ content: • Bautismos 1719-1780  Film 624822 Bautismos 1719-1780 Item 1: Image 3 Libro 1 Bautismos 1719-1754 Item 2: Image 328 Libro 2 Bautismos 1754-1761 Item 3: Image 429 Libro 7 Bautismos 1778-1780 • Bautismos 1780-1803 years span should be 1761-1806 Film 624823 Bautismos 1780-1803 (faltan años) Item 1: Bautismos 1780-1782 is a continuation of Libro 7 –from Film 624822 Item 2: Image 30 Libro 3 Bautismos 1761-1768 Item 3: Image 131 Libro 4 Bautismos 1768-1773 Item 4: Image 232 Libro 5 Bautismos 1773-1776 Item 5: Image 331 Libro 6 Bautismos 1776-1778 Item 6: Image 404 Libro 8 Bautismos 1782-1785 Item 7: Image 503 Libro 9 Bautismos 1785-1788 Item 8: Image 621 Libro 10 Bautismos 1793-1795 Item 9: Image 686 Libro 11 Bautismos 1796-1799 Item 10: Image 774 Libro 12 Bautismos 1802-1806 • Información matrimonial 1795-1797 Film 624828 Item 5: Información matrimonial 1795-1797 Page 26 is missing between Images 41-42 of 47.
