=====Part 1===== | |||
1. Sign your name and click the link that is on the same row where you signed up. <br> | |||
2. Click the Link next to your name in Column C (Link).<br> | |||
3. Look at the first few pages to find the following information:<br> | |||
:*Municipality | |||
:*Parish Name | |||
:*Record Type | |||
:*Date Range | |||
===Finding the Municipality Name=== | |||
The Municipality name usually comes after the parish name in the opening statement. The parish may also go by the municipality name it resides in. | |||
*You can typically spot the municipality name after the parish name. It will look like this: <br><br> | |||

<br><br> | |||
*You would put this on the spreadsheet as Barra Velha in the Municipality Column. You can see that it comes after Freguesia de Nossa Senhora da Conceição. | |||
<br><br><br><br> | |||
===Finding the Parish Name=== | |||
The first few pages of a parish register typically contain an opening statement, a cover page, or both that says what the particular book is. It will usually include the parish name and the municipality it covers. You may need to click through the first few pages of the digital images to find the opening statement or cover page. Here are a few examples of what you may experience: | |||
*You can typically spot the parish name by the words "parroquia de", which both mean parish.<br><br> | |||
[[File:Finding Parish Name 1 .png|900px|center]]<br><br> | |||
*Some books may contain more than one parish. The priest will sometimes mention this in the opening statement of the book. | |||
*You would put this on the spreadsheet as "Nossa Senhora Mai dos Homens" in Column E, "Actual Parish Name / Nome Real da Paróquia." In this instance, the priest also says there is another parish within this book. "Santo Antonio dos Anjos da cidade da Laguna". You can put this information in the "Notes / Notas" column and it will be added later. | |||
*You will not need to know how to translate the entire paragraph, just train your eye to look for the words "freguesia de" or "paróquia de". If there is more than one parish mentioned, put it in the "Notes / Notas" column.<br><Br> | |||

*Sometimes the parish will go by the municipality name instead of the patron saint. This is fine to put on the spreadsheet as "Araranguá" in the "Parish Name" Column. | |||
<br><br><br><br> | |||
===Finding the Record Type=== | |||
1. Look on the front of the book for the following words: <br> | |||
{| class="FCK__ShowTableBorders" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1" style="width: 591px; height: 484px;" | |||
|- | |||
|'''English ''' | |||

|índice | |||
|- | |||
|marriage | |||
|matrimonio, casamiento, casé, casado (a) | |||
|- | |||
|} | |||
2. Put down in the "Record Type" Column in English either Baptism, Confirmation, Marriage, or Death. <br> | |||
<br><br><br><br> | |||
===Finding the Date Range=== | |||
These books are typically in chronological order, with occasional add ons. To find the actual date range the book, look at the first entry of events (baptism, marriage, or death), then go to the last entry of the book and look in the same place for the date of the last entry. <br> <br> | |||
[[File:Finding Date Range.png|900px|center]] | |||
<br><br> | |||
*In this photo the date is "de mil novecentos e cinco" or 1905. | |||
:*A Portuguese and Spanish number guide is at the bottom of this page that you can reference if you are English speaking. | |||
*Once you find the date range, add it to the "Date Range" column. | |||
*You only need to put the years. Reading the exact days and months is not necessary. | |||
*Please add a "; Index" for those sets that are only indexes. The Spanish word for index is índice. | |||
<br><br><br><br> | |||
===No Opening Statement or Hard to Read Documents=== | |||
Some books may not have an opening statement or it may be difficult to read. You can usually find the information needed for the spreadsheet within the records themselves, you just have to click through the pages. Here is an example of how to find the Date, Parish Name, and Municipality name in a baptism record:<br><br> | |||
[[File:Finding Info in a Baptism Record.png|900px|center]]<br><br> | |||
*The information that would go on the spreadsheet: Year - 1884; Parish Name - N.S. da Conceição; Municipality - Barra Velha<br><br> | |||
