For example, baptismal registers sometimes provide the names of the fathers of illegitimate children when the civil registration does not
*Date of death
*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.

===For Help Reading these Records===
These records are in Spanish. For help reading the records see the following guides:
*[[Spanish Genealogical Word List]]
*[https://familysearch.org/learningcenter/results.html?fq=place%3A%22Spain%22 Reading Spanish handwritten records]
*[https://script.byu.edu/Pages/Spanish/en/welcome.aspx Script tutorial for Spanish]
 
===Using the Information===
*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.  
*Use the residence and names of the parents to locate church and land records.  
*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 county. However, ministers may have reported marriages performed in other counties.  
*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/marriage number (how many times a person was married) to identify previous marriages.
*Witnesses often were relatives of the parents.
 
=== Tips to Keep in Mind ===
 
When looking for a person who had a common name, look at all the entries for the name before deciding which is correct.
 
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.  
 
=== Unable to Find Your Ancestor? ===
 
A boundary change could have occurred and the record of you ancestor is now in a neighboring state or region, or your ancestor immigrated to another country. Search the records of nearby areas or immigration/emigration records.
