=== How do I find the year and place of a marriage? === | |||
To find a marriage record, you will need the approximate year and place the event happened. You may need to search other records to find clues about this. | |||
Expand your search of marriage records to include family members, such as brothers and sisters and possible relatives found in the area where your ancestor lived. This can help narrow down the place to search in other records. | |||
See what records exist in the family, such as Bibles, letters, obituary clippings, or records from previous research by yourself or a family member. | |||
Then check records that exist for the area where your ancestor lived. For a list of types of records that may be available for your ancestor, see Tip 5. [to fix] | |||
For other ideas on locating your ancestor, see [[How to Locate Your Ancestor in Canada|How to Locate Your Ancestor in Canada]]. | |||
If you are not sure a person you found is your ancestor, see How to Recognize Your Ancestor in Canada. | |||
