In answering Debbie's question about Jewish records for Cedros on Flores, there are none or none were filmed. The Civil Registry was used by non-Catholics and the GSU filmed what existed in the archives when they were there in the 1980s. I checked the FHLC for Cedros on Flores and didn't find any Civil Registry records listed: https://goo.gl/FdzE9M
I know after someone converted, they would appear in the records as a "new Christian." Depending on how far back this ancestor is, DNA might be her only answer. Many records on Flores don't go back that far. (For those new to genealogy: GSU = Genealogy Society of Utah, the old name of Family Search; FHLC = Family History Library Catalog. No, I did not make up these acronyms, they are what is used by the genealogy community).
