===Search Strategy=== | |||
*Search for the relative or ancestor you selected. When you find his birth record, search for the births of his '''brothers and sisters'''. | |||
*Then, search for the '''marriage of his parents.''' The marriage record will often help you find the birth records of the parents. | |||
*You can '''estimate the ages''' of the parents and search for their birth records. | |||
*Search the death registers for all family members. | |||
*Then repeat the whole process for both the father and the mother. | |||
*If earlier generations are not in the record, search neighboring parishes. | |||
