What Do I Do Next?

I Found the Person I Was Looking For, What Now?

Add any new information to your records
Use the marriage date and place as the basis for compiling a new family group or for verifying existing information
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
Use the birth date or age along with the place of birth to find the family in census records Philippines Census
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
The name of a marriage officiator is a clue to an ancestor’s religion or area of residence in the province. However, ministers may have reported marriages performed in other provinces
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
Use the marital status to identify previous marriages (whether a divorce or death dissolved a previous marriage)
Witnesses often were relatives of the parents

I Can’t Find the Person I’m Looking For, What Now?

When looking for a person who had a common name, look at all the entries for the name before deciding which is correct
For death records, the information in records is usually reliable, but depends upon the knowledge of the informant
For marriage and death records, your ancestors may have used shortened names or nicknames, so pay attention to other relationships (parents, spouse, siblings, children, etc.) that can confirm whether you have the right person/record
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
You may want to look for records of a neighboring state or region. These areas/provinces border Northern Samar:
- Samar and Eastern Samar in the South
- Sorsogon to the Northwest
