Search at the office of Archives of Gibraltar, Civil Registrar!. Or local local historian of that place!. Some churches like The Mormons!. The Salvation Army have records of ancestry of people!. Try them also!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Did they immigrate to the United States!? If so then they could have records from leaving Málaga Province, where the city of Casares is located, one of the surrounding provinces, or the Straits of Gibraltar!. There may be records of the family leaving the county and entering the United States along with trying to become naturalized citizens!. There are several Spanish website you can start looking, most are in Spanish, but this link should get you started (http://www!.cyndislist!.com/spain!.htm)!.

In Spain, you should be able to find the records you are seeking!. The Spanish until the 1900’s were just Catholic, which will help!. If you are unaware the Catholics Church keeps copies of many rites that it member undergo throughout their lifetime!. The local Catholic parish wherever your ancestors live will like have family baptisms and marriage records among other records!.
