== How Do I Search This Collection? ==
Before searching this collection, it is helpful to know:
*Name of the person 
*The approximate date of the of the christening or baptism
*The place where the event took place
*The names of other family members and their relationships
=== How Do I Analyze the Results? ===
Compare each result from your search with what you know to determine if there is a match. This may require viewing multiple records or images. Keep track of your research in a [[Use_Appropriate_Forms#Prepare_a_Research_Log | research log]].
== What Do I Do Next? ==
=== I Found Who I was Looking for, What Now? ===
*Use christening and birth records of christenings (baptisms) to identify a person’s birth date and place. These are an excellent substitute for civil birth records
*Use confirmation records to identify a person’s birth date and place and his or her age. If only the age is given, use it to calculate the person’s death date
*Use death, burial, or funeral records to identify a person’s birth date and place. Use age at the time of death or burial to calculate the person’s birth date. These are an excellent substitute for civil death records
*Use marriage records to identify a couple and the marriage date and place and to begin compiling a family group. These are an excellent substitute for civil marriage records
*Use church records in general to identify other family members who may have served as witnesses to an event
*Use the date of the event along with the locality to find the family in census records and land records
*Use the residence and names of the parents to locate church and land records
*Extract the information on all children with the same parents. If the surname is unusual, you may want to compile entries for every person of the same surname and sort them into families based on the names of the parents. Continue to search the birth records to identify siblings, parents, and other relatives in the same or other generations who were born in the same county or nearby
*An infant’s christening usually took place within a few days or few weeks of the birth, depending on the religion. Some churches, such as the Baptists, baptized only adults not infants. Members of other sects blessed their infants when they were a few weeks or a few months old
=== I Can't Find Who I'm Looking for, What Now? ===
*Look for variant spellings of the names
*Check the records of other congregations in the area or nearby communities
*Check the records of other religious sects in the area or nearby communities
