== Record Description  ==
 
Entries for baptisms, marriages, and deaths (burials) usually consist of a narrative paragraph. Dates are usually spelled out and the name of the principal person is usually written in the margin next to the entry. After about 1920, preprinted forms with columns were sometimes used.
 
This collection of registers covers the years from 1600 to 1982.
 
Since about 1600, up to 85 percent of people living in the Philippines have been members of the Roman Catholic Church.
 
Catholic Church records began to be recorded in the Philippines in 1569 with some records dating earlier.
 
There was no separation of church and state in the Philippines until the end of the Spanish administration in 1898. Generally, parish priests recorded civil and ecclesiastical documents.
 
Catholic Church parish registers in the Philippines were created to record the church sacraments of baptism, confirmation, marriage, and burial.<br>
 
Church records are very important for family research. Civil authorities did not consistently register vital events in the Philippines until the nineteenth century. Church records, on the other hand, were well kept from 1569 (in accordance with the directives of the Council of Trent), with some records dating even earlier. They are generally an excellent source—and many times the only source—of names, dates, and places of births, marriages, and deaths.
 
Parish registers are the best records in the Philippines to identify individuals, parents, and spouses before the nineteenth century. After this date, civil authorities began registering vital statistics, which became equally important. The information in civil sources confirms and supplements the information in church records. For instance, the parish registers may list the godparents while the civil records may list the grandparents. Be sure to search both the parish and civil records after 1860 since some families did not consistently register their children with either the church or the government.
 
See the [[Philippines Church Records]] article for more details.

Usually, marriages occurred about one year before the first child was born. Elopements were common, sometimes involving a civil marriage prior to the birth of a child. Church marriages may have taken place later. Surnames of a married couple may depend on the income of one spouse’s family, rather than on the husband’s name. It is therefore wise to search for a marriage record under the surnames of both the parents of the bride and the groom.

=== How Do I Analyze the Results? ===
Fill in the requested information in the initial search page. This search will return a list of possible matches. Compare the information about the ancestors in the list to what you already know about your ancestors to determine if this is the correct family or person. You may need to compare the information about more than one person to find your ancestor.
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]].

=== Unable to Find Information? ===
*Add any new information to your records
 
*If available, check the image for additional information
*Note the founding date of the parish you are searching. If the date is after your ancestor would be recorded, search records of the parent parish. See the Catholic Directory of the Philippines. If your ancestor lived before the beginning date of the church records, the older parish may be far from the new one.
*Analyze the entry to see if it provides additional clues to find other records of the person or their family
*If you cannot find records at a parish, they may have been sent to the diocese. Find the diocese in the Catholic Directory of the Philippines.
