Once you know what has been done, the next step is gathering christening records. Let's say you have ''Father A'' and ''Mother B'', and you are trying to find the parents of ''Father A''. The first step you need to do is gather the christening records of ''<u>every</u>'' child of the couple. On the christening records is the witnesses that will be needed for witness research. You want to gather the christening records of every child because each child will have different (and similar) witnesses along with different information about each witness. | Once you know what has been done, the next step is gathering christening records.

== Step 3: Extract Information == | |||
The third step is to extract the information found on each christening record. This includes: | |||
#The name of each witnesses (even if it says Lars Larsen's wife), | |||
#The place of residence of each witness | |||
#Any descriptive information that may be list (such as occupation, titles, relations, etc.) | |||
#Any other information that may be listed. | |||
