===Writing to a Municipality for Records=== | |||
Civil registration records are kept at the local civil registration office (Oficina del Registro Civil) in each municipality. You must determine the town where your ancestor lived before you can find the records. A civil registration district may include several towns or a small section of a large city. You may need to use gazetteers and other geographic references to identify the place your ancestor lived and the civil registration office that served it (see [[Peru Gazetteers]]). In addition to the town, you need to know an approximate year in which the birth, marriage, divorce, or death occurred.'''''This method is not always reliable. Officials might or might not respond.'''''<br> | |||
Write a brief request in Spanish to the proper office using this address as a guide replacing the information in parentheses:<br> | |||
