*Use the marriage date and place as the basis for compiling a new family group or for verifying existing information.
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]].
*Use the birth date or age along with the place of birth of each partner to find a couple's birth records and parents' names.

*Add any new information to your records
*Use the parents' birth places to find former residences and to establish a migration pattern for the family.
*If available, check the image for additional information
*The name of a marriage officiator is a clue to their religion or area of residence in the province. However, ministers may have reported marriages performed in other provinces.  
*Analyze the entry to see if it provides additional clues to find other records of the person or their family
*Compile the marriage entries for every person who has the same surname as the bride or groom; this is especially helpful in rural areas or if the surname is unusual.
*Use the marriage date and place as the basis for compiling a new family group or for verifying existing information  
*Use the marital status to identify previous marriages (whether a divorce or death dissolved a previous marriage).
*Use the birth date or age along with the place of birth of each spouse to find a couple's birth records and parents' names  
*Witnesses often were relatives of the parents.
*Use the birth date or age and the place of birth to find the family in census records. See the [[Philippines Census]] for more information

*Civil records are also a good source of genealogical information.  If possible, you should obtain copies of both [https://familysearch.org/wiki/en/Philippines_Civil_Registration-_Vital_Records Civil Registration] and church records, since they do not necessarily provide the same information. For example, baptismal registers sometimes provide the names of the fathers of illegitimate children when the civil registration does not
 
*Vary the search terms. For example, search by either the given name or surname to return broader list of possible candidates which can then be examined for matches. Or try expanding the date range; this is especially useful in searching baptismal records, as it was not unusual for a child to be baptized weeks or even months after birth
Continue to search the marriage records to identify children, siblings, parents, and other relatives of the bride and groom who may have married in the same county or nearby. This can help you identify other generations of your family or even the second marriage of a parent. Repeat this process for each new generation you identify.

For Help Reading these Records[edit | edit source]

These records are in Spanish. For help reading the records see the following guides:

Using the Information[edit | edit source]

  • Use the marriage date and place as the basis for compiling a new family group or for verifying existing information.
  • Use the birth date or age along with the place of birth of each partner to find a couple's birth records and parents' names.
  • Use the birth date or age along with the place of birth to find the family in census records Philippines Census.
  • Use the residence and names of the parents to locate civil (see “Related Wiki Articles” section below) and land records Philippines Land and Property.
  • Use the parents' birth places to find former residences and to establish a migration pattern for the family.
  • The name of a marriage officiator is a clue to their religion or area of residence in the province. However, ministers may have reported marriages performed in other provinces.
  • Compile the marriage entries for every person who has the same surname as the bride or groom; this is especially helpful in rural areas or if the surname is unusual.
  • Use the marital status to identify previous marriages (whether a divorce or death dissolved a previous marriage).
  • Witnesses often were relatives of the parents.

Tips to Keep in Mind[edit | edit source]

When looking for a person who had a common name, look at all the entries for the name before deciding which is correct.

For death records, the information in records is usually reliable, but depends upon the knowledge of the informant.

For marriage and death records, your ancestors may have used shortened names or nicknames, so pay attention to other relationships (parents, spouse, siblings, children, etc.) that can confirm whether you have the right person/record.

Continue to search the marriage records to identify children, siblings, parents, and other relatives of the bride and groom who may have married in the same county or nearby. This can help you identify other generations of your family or even the second marriage of a parent. Repeat this process for each new generation you identify.

Continue to search the indexes and records to identify children, siblings, parents, and other relatives who may have lived in the same area or a nearby area.
