Gazetteers in Hispanic Research



One of the big take-aways from the Advanced Hispanic Research workshop at the Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy was the importance of understanding jurisdiction in order to locate the records you want. Use these seminal resources to narrow down your geographic location.

    • A geographical dictionary to Spain 
      • Diccionario geográfico-estadístico-histórico de España y sus posesiones de ultramar (often referred to as Dicionario Madoz, after author Pascual Madoz) 
      • All 16 volumes are digitized on FamilySearch 
      • published 1845-1850
