Substitute records are used to confirm information and resolve discrepancies found in birth, marriage and death records.  By contributing details of the environment, events and history surrounding your ancestor, substitute records enrich the story of the person you are researching. 
Check alternate record types to either verify information found on a government record or to find birth, marriage, or death information when government records do not exist.
