=== Tips to Keep in Mind ===


*When looking for a person who had a common name, look at all the entries for the name before deciding which is correct.
[[pt:Brasil, Rio de Janeiro, Registro Civil e Registros Diversos (Registros Históricos do FamilySearch)]][[es:Brasil, Río de Janeiro, registro civil y registros diversos (Registros históricos de FamilySearch)]]
*For death records, the information in records is usually reliable, but depends upon the knowledge of the informant.
*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.
*Naturalization records are good for tracing your ancestors origins, i.e., where they moved from and when.
*Election and land records are used to trace your ancestors' migration, i.e., where they lived throughout their life, their economic situation, and their civil status.
*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? ===
 
A boundary change could have occurred and the record of your ancestor is now in a neighboring. Search the records and indexes of neighboring cities, provinces, and regions.
 
Church records are also a good substitute when birth, marriage, and death records can’t be found or are unavailable.
 
*[[Brazil Catholic Church Records (FamilySearch Historical Records)]]
*[[Brazil Church Records]]
 
Perhaps your ancestor immigrated to another country. Search the records of nearby areas or immigration/emigration records:
