Hello

There seems to be some errors (books/films missing, film misnamed)

The testaments books run as follows:

Testaments 1569-1618 (Book 1)

Testaments 1620-1652 (Book 2)

Testaments 1669-1730 (Book 4)

Book 3 seems to be missing or was it filed/saved somewhere else?

The film for death records 1559-1630 actually runs through 1640 name should read "Defunciones 1559-1640".

The records for this city are split in two directories:

  1. Spain, Catholic Church Records, 1307-1985, Barcelona, Canet de Mar, Santos Pedro y Pablo
  2. Spain, Catholic Church Records, 1307-1985, Gerona, Canet de Mar, Santos Pedro y Pablo

In the directory "Spain, Catholic Church Records, 1307-1985, Barcelona, Canet de Mar, Santos Pedro y Pablo" there is a film "Bautismos 1762-1823" that is not for this city. It belongs to the City of Gerona. It was listed in the city of Canet de Mar by mistake.

Hope this is understandable. If not you can reach out to me 305-282-9204.

    These are waypointing errors in the collection "Spain, Catholic Church Records" (https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/1784529).

    I have never seen FamilySearch correct such errors. I first reported some of them basically a decade ago now, but they're all still there, unchanged: wrong counties, wrong or even nonexistent denominations, typos leading to wrongly-sorted image groups, and so on and so forth.


    The catalog appears to have all of the Spanish images that you mentioned correctly filed/identified. You just have to pay attention to the item numbers when using the catalog, because the camera link always takes you to the beginning of the entire film.

    From Julia's last catalogue link, the DGS for film containing the Testamentos is  4038085, items 5-7.

    I cannot see another film for the church Santos Pedro y Pablo (Canet de Mar, Barcelona), so I would think that Book 3 of the Testataments is not available on FamilySearch. Perhaps it may be available at the originating Archive, Archivo Diocesano de Gerona but possibly it may not have survived at all.

    The same film 4038085 also includes some items from https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/83499 Iglesia Católica. San Martín (Terradellas, Gerona)
