Argentina, Córdoba, Censuses, 1778-1874

What is in This Collection?

This collection consists of images and indexed records of the census of the population from the province of Córdoba, Argentina. The records may contain more information than what has been indexed. Please view the linked images for additional information.

The census is a good source of genealogical information that may not be obtainable elsewhere, particularly if civil or parish records are not available. The census is the third best source for genealogical information in Argentina, with civil and church records being the number one and two source. The census was taken by regular citizens assigned to areas. The person being questioned did not have to show legal evidence of the information given, so the information may contain some errors.

Additional records and/or images may be added to this collection in the future.
