For some reason there have been stories floating around for years that the Bishop's Palace had copies of baptismal records. They aren't any there. I had asked then Archbishop Felipe Neri in person in 2016 when I was doing my research in Goa whether they had any such records and he said that they had been required to pass everything to the National Archives. I've done extensive work on my village of Moira at the Archives and they had baptisms/deaths/marriage records from 1804 onwards. Other villages could go further back. John

Far higher chance there than the archives. For birth certificates, I think it might depend on the taluka. If Tiswadi, then the archives of Births and deaths at Junta House Panjim (unless they've moved to Patto or elsewhere), and only if not there (if going very far back in time), then the archives. I'm not sure about the other talukas.

At the local church itself, or at an archive in Old Goa?

I have never been to the Goa archives. There is nothing on their website which indicates what the process might be for a day pass/identification required, document handling and document ordering nor a search engine to do such ordering. I was wondering if anyone has had an experience and would be able to guide me.
