Alternative records are listed as well in case traditional records do not provide the desired information.


== List of Topics ==
# In column 1 find the goal you selected, then in column 2 find the types of records most likely to have the information you need.
This Record Finder table links to the Argentina topic Wiki pages, containing databases and other information about accessing the records.
# Find in column 2 the types of records that are most likely to have the information you need. Then turn to that seciton of this outline. 
===Vital Events ===
# Additional records that may also be useful are listed in column 3.
