Genealogy has acquired in the last decades an unusual awakening, modifying some of the processes that are carried out in our archives. The Church archives contain an enormous amount of data of substantial importance for the tracing of genealogies. However, this source of content is in many cases inversely proportional to the available technical and human resources (expertise, time, etc.) of both ecclesiastical archivists and users. We are aware that, in order to obtain a good genealogical study, it is essential to use a proper method for collecting, representing and analysing genealogical information. In this article we try to offer methodological guidelines that will lead us to a new archival-ecclesiastical praxis with genealogical contents that goes beyond parochial registers, considered by many as the only archival-ecclesiastical source that conveys them.
