This volume contains records of birth, marriage, baptism, and death. The baptisms, for example, give the name of the infant; the date of, or age at, baptism; the names of parents; and, frequently, the names of grandparents.

This fully indexed work identifies thousands of 18th- and early 19th-century inhabitants of Belize never before accessible to researchers.
