== How to Use the Record ==
For marriage and death records, name changes, shortened names, or nicknames may have been used by your ancestors, so pay attention to other relationships (parents, spouse, siblings, children, etc.) that can confirm whether you have the right person/record.  
Search the Collection<br>
To search the collection you will need to follow this series of links:<br>
⇒ Select the "Browse" link in the initial search page<br>
⇒ Select the "Estado" category<br>
⇒ Select the "Ciudad o pueblo" category<br>
⇒ Select the "Tip de registro y años" category which takes you to the images<br>
Look at the images one by one comparing the information with what you already know about your ancestors to determine which one is your ancestor. You may need to compare the information about more than one person to make this determination.


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