-== Search Strategies  ==
-To effectively use civil records, follow these steps:
-#Search for the relative or ancestor you have selected. When you find the person’s birth record, search for the births of his or her brothers and sisters.
-#Search for the marriage of his or her parents. The marriage record will often give you information that leads to the parents’ birth record.
-#Estimate the parents’ age and search for their birth records.
-#Repeat the process for both the father and mother.
-#If earlier generations are not in the record, search neighboring municipios.
-#Search the death records for all family members.
