== | == Search Strategies == | ||
Effective use of church records includes the following strategies, used in this order: | |||
*Search only for the ancestor you select. When you find his or her baptismal record, search for the baptisms of his or her brothers and sisters. | |||
*Search for the marriage of the person’s parents prior to the birth of their first legitimate child. The marriage record will often lead to the parents’ baptismal records. | |||
*You can estimate the parents’ ages or try to find their ages from a death record and then search for their baptismal records. | |||
*Repeat the process for both the father and the mother. | |||
*If earlier generations (parents, grandparents, etc.) do not appear in the records, search neighboring parishes. | |||
*Search the death registers for all known family members. | |||
