For all you subscribers to the Genealogy Library, I have just completed adding the 1920 Census index for Guam. This is quite a valuable to tool, since families are listed (hand written) on index cards, somewhat alphabetically. The document gallery is arranged alphabetically by folder (letterwise), but the index cards on each sheet are not quite in order on the microfilm. Here's an example of some of the index cards, which I believe was the last time the US Census Bureau performed this type of organizing. If you're not a subscriber to the Genealogy Library, you're missing out on the digitized images from the microfilms.

When researching names in the 1897 Census (Patron de almas: Ano de 1897), the Spaniards recorded names with the father's surname first and then the mother's maiden surname last. For example the recording of Ignacia Chargualaf y Nasayof should be interpreted as Ignacia Nasayof Chargualaf.

Updated database from 185,428 to 188,650. I still have much  more to capture from funeral announcements, but most user submissions/suggestions were applied.

The 'Demo Database' to access a limited and free version of the Chamorro Roots Genealogy Project is still available for Registered Users.  Non-registered visitors of this site will not have access and the link is not visible until one becomes a Registered User.

After quite a bit of data clensing, the total names is now at 185,428. Approximately 10,616 records were identified as orphan records, which were also found to be duplicates and have been removed from the database.
