Dominican Baptism Records

Where we search:

Since many of the foreigners residing in the Dominican Republic at the beginning of the 20th century, lived and worked in San Pedro de Macorís on the south east coast, it follows that most of our inquiries for certificates from very long ago involve San Pedro de Macorís. If we can't find baptism records in San Pedro's cathedral, we continue our search at the Archbishopric of Santo Domingo.
