In some areas, separate sections or even separate books were kept to record deaths and burials of non-resident citizens of the parish. This means that you may find up to '''two''' burial records of a person: the original place of residence, and the duplicate of the record in the place of citizenship. Each priest may record different information for the burial; be sure to identify all copies of the burial.


Information about parents, birth dates, and birthplaces may be inaccurate, depending on the informant's knowledge.
