Looking for Peruvian records, I keep on getting this message "This record is unavailable for legal reasons." I understand 19th century records are open to the public, are public, so this banning of records makes no sense. When will the records be opem to the public again? Thanls so much.

    @KrugerMaria8 Good morning

    FamilySearch must comply with laws and regulations of the record holder/creator as well as any contractual agreements. The Peruvian government has recently passed a new law regarding data privacy.

     At the time the Peru records were restricted all records were removed to meet a deadline. In the last few weeks all records that are legally within the guidelines of the new privacy laws are being republished.
