Don't jump straight back to a distant ancestor. Begin with the present and confirm/document the information and relationships as you work your way back. # '''Document/source your tree:''' As you gather information, identify where and who each piece of information came from. [[Evaluate the Evidence|Evaluate how reliable the sources are]], and ensure you are interpreting them correctly. Don't simply accept ancestral information on your tree. Instead, look for records or other reliable sources to support each date, place, and relationship. # '''[[Decide What You Want to Learn|Decide what you want to learn]]:''' Have a specific research goal or objective. This is defined by pursuing a [[A_Guide_to_Research#2._Decide_What_You_Want_to_Learn_About_Your_Family|specific piece of information]] about a specific ancestor. An example of a ''bad'', or ''too-generic'' research goal is: "I want to know more about my great-grandfather." An example of a ''good'' research goal is: "I want to find the marriage date of my great-grandparents." # '''[[Select Records to Search|Select records to search]]:''' Each country's record-keeping practices are different. See your country's [[England Record Finder|Record Finder]] table to determine what kind of record could provide the desired ancestral information. Search the desired records. # '''[[Use the Information|Analyze/use the information]]:''' When you find new sources, carefully [[Evaluate the Evidence|evaluate them]] to ensure they are about the correct ancestors, and that the information in the evidence is being accurately interpreted. [[Transfer_the_Information#Cite_Your_Sources|Cite]] or document your sources in your family tree establish the accuracy of your findings. ==Beginning Research in Chile== *[[Chile Finding Town of Origin|Finding Town of Origin]] *[[Chile Online Learning|Online Learning]] - Video Classes *[[Chile Finding Records|Finding Records]] This Record Finder table links to the Chile topic Wiki pages, containing databases and other information about accessing the records. ===Vital Events === {| width="65%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" border="1" |- | style="align:left; width:25%;" | '''Searching for:''' | style="align:left; width:35%;" | '''Best Records to Search:''' | style="align:left; width:35%;" | '''Alternative Records:''' |- | align="left" | Birth date and place | style="align:left; vertical-align:top;"| *[[Chile Church Records|Church Records]] *[[Chile Civil Registration|Civil Registration]] | style="align:left; vertical-align:top;"| *[[Chile Notarial Records|Notarial Records]] |- | align="left" | Marriage place and date | style="align:left; vertical-align:top;"| *[[Chile Church Records|Church Records]] *[[Chile Civil Registration|Civil Registration]] | style="align:left; vertical-align:top;"| *[[Chile Notarial Records|Notarial Records]] |- | align="left" | Death date, place, and burial | style="align:left; vertical-align:top;"| *[[Chile Church Records|Church Records]] *[[Chile Civil Registration|Civil Registration]] | style="align:left; vertical-align:top;"| *[[Chile Notarial Records|Notarial Records]] |} [[Category:Chile]][[Category:Research Tips and Strategies]]
