*New information is constantly being indexed, microfilmed or updated. Periodically check back and see if your ancestor’s records have been added.

If possible, you should obtain copies of both [https://familysearch.org/wiki/en/Philippines_Civil_Registration-_Vital_Records Civil Registration] and church records, since they do not necessarily provide the same information. For example, baptismal registers sometimes provide the names of the fathers of illegitimate children when the civil registration does not. | ||
* | *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. Or try expanding the date range; this is especially useful in searching baptismal records, as it was not unusual for a child to be baptized weeks or even months after birth. | ||
