Emigration records in Spain are an important resource for genealogists researching ancestors who left the country, particularly during the 19th and 20th centuries. Economic hardship, political unrest, and colonial ties drove many Spaniards to emigrate, primarily to Latin America, the United States, and France. These records often include passenger lists, consular registrations, and passport applications, offering valuable insights into migration patterns. Large waves of emigration occurred during the late 19th century, the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939), and the Franco dictatorship. Post-World War II economic struggles also contributed to emigration, making these records essential for tracing Spanish family histories.
