Does anyone know if church records were recorded in government books? Is there an archive to look at those?

Example is a picture of one a historian sent me. I am trying to help him out.

I have seen the picture. My understanding is that the word "Gobierno" here has nothing to do with the "government", it is a reference to the governing of the Curato so this is a completely church thing and has nothing to do with civil matters. In Mexico Church archives and Civil Governement records are things that stand apart from each other.

Thank you Uncabral. A historian (Cronista) of Zacatecas, has been asking me if I know where those types of records are kept. He said that he was told that it would be copied by the Mormons in their records.

I am trying to help him locate the archives. On the example he gave me of a picture of the "Gobierno Del Curato" book of Valparaiso, Zacatecas, Mexico 1854, it would probably be under the archive of that title "Gobierno Del Curato" if it exists some where and was copied for people to see online.

That would open up a new avenue to look at records online.

I think it is called "Libros Parroquial Del Gobierno"
