=== Coverage Map ===
Some record sets have indexes; these indexes were created at the end of the year. Copy errors could have been made in the index, so you want to find the actual record to verify the information is correct. Using the index is a helpful way to find the actual record.

For death records, the information in records is usually reliable, but depends upon the knowledge of the informant.

Regarding 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.

'''To search by index:''' <br>
=== View the Images ===
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 look at several images and compare the information about the individuals listed in those images to your ancestors to make this determination.

'''When searching:'''<br>
=== How Do I Analyze the Results? ===  
As you are searching it is helpful to know such information as your ancestor's given name and surname, some identifying information such as residence, age, and family relationships. Remember that there may be more than one person in the records with the same name as your ancestor and that your ancestor may have used nicknames or different names at different times.
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]].
 
== What Do I Do Next? ==
===For Help Reading These Records===
*Add any new information to your records
 
*If available, check the image for additional information
For help reading the Spanish records see the following guides:
*Analyze the entry to see if it provides additional clues to find other records of the person or their family

*The person may be recorded with an abbreviated or variant form of their name
*[https://script.byu.edu/Pages/Spanish/en/welcome.aspx Script tutorial for Spanish]
*Try searching by surname only
 
*Remember that spelling was generally not standardized until the early part of the 20th century
===Using the 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.
*Use the marriage date and place as the basis for compiling a new family group or for verifying existing information.
=== Research Helps ===
*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.  
The following articles will help you research your family in [[Philippines Genealogy|Philippines]].
*Use the birth date or age along with the place of birth to find the family in census records [[Philippines Census]].  
*[[Philippines Research Tips and Strategies]]
*Use the residence and names of the parents to locate civil (see “Related Wiki Articles” section below) and land records [[Philippines Land and Property]].

*Use the parents' birth places to find former residences and to establish a migration pattern for the family.
== Other FamilySearch Collections ==
*The name of a marriage officiator is a clue to their religion or area of residence in the province. However, ministers may have reported marriages performed in other provinces.
These collections may have additional materials to help you with your research.
*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.
=== FamilySearch Historical Records ===
*Use the marital status to identify previous marriages (whether a divorce or death dissolved a previous marriage).

===Tips to Keep in Mind===
{{Collection citation}}
 
{{Image Citation}}
Usually, marriages occurred about one year before the first child was born.
{{Record_Citation}}
 
[[pt:Filipinas, Lingayen-Dagupan, Registros Paroquiais da Arquidiocese Católica (Registros Históricos do FamilySearch)]]
When looking for your ancestor’s baptismal record, remember that the entries are arranged chronologically.
 
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.
 
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?===
 
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.
 
Or your ancestor immigrated to another country. Search the records of nearby areas or immigration/emigration records.
[[Philippines Emigration and Immigration]]
 
Civil registration records are also a good substitute when church records are insufficient.
[[Philippines, Civil Registration, Local (FamilySearch Historical Records)]]
 
===General Information About These Records===
 
Since about 1600, up to 85 percent of people living in the Philippines have been members of the Roman Catholic Church.
 
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.
 
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.
