Where can I find missing "book" from a roll?

JoseEspinosa38

I am looking through the Church records from Mexico / San Luis Potosi / Sagragio (Film 640633; Image Group DGS 4798568) is missing / skipping records. Mostly missing are the book 128 with records from 18-19 May 1879 to 7-8 July 1880.

Any recommendation on how or where I could find those? The collection has been so carefully scanned and seems so complete that I am sure it is somewhere...

Any help would be appreciated.

@JoseEspinosa38 , Yes, I believe you are correction in that the problem is a missing book, Book 128 which would have taken us from May 1879 to June 1880.

The are a few possible reasons that we are not finding this book, including (1) the book is buried in one of the many (4 pages of) microfilms; (2) the book was lost, or not made available, before filming the records.

There is a Wiki page for the related collection, Mexico, San Luis Potosí, Catholic Church Records; which also has an associated Known Issues page. I will append these wiki pages below, for your convenience. I have looked at the known issues, and the absence of Book 128 has not been reported.

It does appear that the Collection, Mexico, San Luis Potosí, Civil Registration, 1859-2000, may be a reasonable substitute for the collection, Mexico, San Luis Potosí, Catholic Church Records, 1586-1977; where we find that Book 128 is missing. Here is the link to the Civil Registrations; hopefully, it might help.

I have searched the internet for an alternative source for the Mexico, San Luis Potosi, Catholic Church Records -- in hopes to find a source that has the missing book 128. Unfortunately, everything that I have found points back to the FamilySearch Collection. I did find the same collection on Ancestry.com, but it appears exactly as the FamilySearch collection, with the missing book 128.

Here are the links for the Wiki pages for the Mexico, San Luis Potosí, Catholic Church Records, and for the related Known Issues page.

I will report the missing book 128, so that it can be included in the Known issues for this collection.

@Mike357 - Thank you very much for the response. I will definitively check the Civil Registration records to see if it may be there, and thank you for including it on the wiki page as a known issue.

Cheers,
