== Record Finder Table for Chile ==
The following Record Finder table assists researchers in determining record types that may list the information they are looking for.
=== Order of Records ===
The typically most reliable sources are listed at the top of the list. However, depending on the time period of the record and location, multiple records in the list may need to be searched to achieve the objective. Alternative records are listed as well in case traditional records do not provide the desired information.


== List of Topics ==
# In column 1, find the category closest to your research goal.
This Record Finder table links to the Chile topic Wiki pages, containing databases and other information about accessing the records.
# In column 2, find the types of records that are most likely to have the information you need. <br />
===Vital Events ===
# In column 3, find additional record types that may be useful. 
{| width="65%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" border="1"
# Then turn to the section of this outline that corresponds to the record type you chose. The section gives information about the records, how to search them, and how to find them in the Family History Library Catalog. Some records are not at the Family History Library.
 
Note: The terms used in columns 2 and 3 are the same as the topic headings used in this outline and in the Locality section of the Family History Library Catalog. Also, records containing previous research - genealogy, biography, history, periodicals, and societies - could provide information for nearly all research goals, but these have not been listed unless they are especially helpful.<br /><br />
