==How to Find Records==
===Digital  Copies of Church Records in the FamilySearch Catalog ===
Watch for digitized copies of church records to be added to the collection of the FamilySearch Library. Some records might have viewing restrictions, and can only be viewed at a [https://familysearch.org/locations/ '''Family History Center'''] near you, and/or by members of supporting organizations.  To find records:
:::a. Click on the [COUNTRY LINK '''records of Brazil'''].
:::b. Click on '''Places within Brazil''' and a list of towns will appear.
:::c. Click on your town if it appears, or the location which you believe was the parish which served your town or village. 
:::d. Click on the '''"Church records"''' topic. Click on the blue links to specific record titles.
:::e. Some combination of these icons will appear at the far right of the listing for the record. [[File:FHL icons.png|75px]].  The magnifying glass indicates that the record is indexed. Clicking on the magnifying glass will take you to the index. Clicking on the camera will take you to an online digital copy of the records.
