|  | == How to Use theRecord == |  | === How Do I Analyze the Results? ===   | 
|  | This section contains tips and information about how to search this collection.
 |  | Compare each result from your search with what you know to determine if there is a match. This may require viewing multiple records or images. Keep track of your research in a [[Use_Appropriate_Forms#Prepare_a_Research_Log |research log]]. | 
|  |   |  | == What Do I Do Next? == | 
|  | As you are searching it is helpful to know such information as yourancestor's name and possible area of residence. An estimated age is also useful for narrowing down time periods in which to searchfor records.
 |  | === I Found the Person I’m Looking For, What Now? === | 
|  |  
 |  | *Add any new information to your records | 
|  | Some record sets have indexes which were created at the end of the year. Using the index is a helpful way to find the actual record. 
 |  | *Make sure to fully transcribe and cite the record entry for future reference   | 
|  |   |  | *Use the information to find more. For instance, use the age listed in the record to estimate a year of birth, if that is yet undetermined | 
|  | ===Searching the Collection===
 |  | *Compile the marriage entries for every person who has the same surname as the bride or groom; this is especially helpful in rural areas or if the surname is unusual | 
|  |   |  | *Use the parents' birth places to find former residences and to establish a migration pattern for the family  | 
|  | '''To search by image:'''<br>
 |  | *Use the marriage number to identify previous marriages | 
|  | To search the collection you will need to follow this series of links:<br>

|  | ⇒Select "Browse through images" on the initial collection page <br>
 |  | *Spelling was not standardized for much of the period of this collection, so names were often spelled as they were pronounced. Pay attention to how the name should have been pronounced and try spelling variations that could have that pronunciation  | 
|  | ⇒ Select the 'Provincia' (Province) category<br> 
 |  | *[[Media:SpanishNameAbbreviations.pdf|Spanish name abbreviations]] may also be helpful with names | 
|  | ⇒ Select the 'Barangay' (Town) category<br> 
 |  | *Vary the search terms. For example, search by either the given name or surname to return broader list of possible candidates which can then be examined for matches. Alternatively, try expanding the date range | 
|  | ⇒ Select the 'Parish' (Parroquia) category<br> 
 |  | *Search the records of nearby localities. While it was uncommon for an individual in this period to move more than about 20 miles from their place of birth, smaller relocations were not uncommon  | 
|  | ⇒ Select the 'Record Type, Year Range (Tipo de Registro y Años) category which takes you to the images.<br>
