Spain Death Records Index

Death records in Spain can be valuable resources for genealogical research. Spanish civil registration of deaths began in 1871, providing detailed information such as the deceased's name, age, place of birth, parents' names, and cause of death. Prior to 1871, church records often documented deaths and burials.

Tombstones in Spanish cemeteries can offer additional insights, sometimes including birth dates, family relationships, and occupation.

Researchers should be aware that privacy laws may restrict access to more recent death records in Spain.
