Yes, friends, 200 rolls of microfilm for Morelia's cathedral alone:

Here are examples:

Bautismos 1652-1714 FHL INTL Film 644690

you will also find marriages and death records...MichoacĂ¡n research is not as easy as Zacatecas or Jalisco because they don't list abuelos paternos or abuelos maternos in baptisms, but you can still do a good job if you are determined and alert.
