Tom,

Just keep googling. Recently some parish records in Argentina were found dating back to around 1850, so hopefully you may find some in the right timeframe.

If you need more help add names and dates on here and I'm sure we'll try and help.

Hello to you both

I have a friend who is interested in finding his ancestry, he asked if I could find out
if there were places like GR and Ancestry so I said would post on here and see what comes up, at the moment I don't any information other than than my friends name,

You both have me helped me a great deal over the last few weeks, for which I am
very grateful for... I will look at the links that Marie has offered and then ask him if he would like me to put his family name on here and see what help you can offer if that's ok
Many thanks

Tom

Tom, that would be fine. Not an area I've researched before but someone else may have done. We can but try.
