Civil registration is the government recording of births, marriages, and deaths. In Chile, civil authorities began registering births, marriages, and deaths in 1885; records  might have gaps until 1900, when full compliance to the law was achieved. For many families, civil registration records are the only sources of information after this date. These registers are written in Spanish. Some registers may have an index. In some cases, a separate index may be available that covers a specific time period.<br>

Civil registration records are kept at the local civil registration office ''(oficina de registro civil)'' in each municipality''(municipalidad''). You must determine the town where your ancestor lived before you can find the records. Your ancestor may have lived in a small town ''(pueblo)'' that belonged to the civil jurisdiction ''(municipalidad)'' of a larger town in the area. In large cities, there may be more than one civil registration office. Here is an online gazetteer for cities and towns in [http://www.fallingrain.com/world/CI/06/ '''Bío Bío'''].
