==Search Strategies==
Use the following strategies to search for records effectively:
#Search for the birth, death, male register, or family structure record of the relative or ancestor you selected.
#Search for the marriage record and family structure record of your ancestor’s parents.
#The marriage record will often lead to the birth records of the parents. You can estimate the ages of the parents and search for their birth records.
#Repeat the process for both the father and the mother.
#Search the death registers for all known family members.
#If earlier generations are not in the record, search records of neighboring towns.
