=== Locating Civil Registration Records === | |||
=== Search Strategies === | |||
To effectively use civil records, follow these steps: | |||
#Search for the relative or ancestor you have selected. When you find the person’s birth record, search for the births of his or her brothers and sisters. | |||
#Search for the marriage of his or her parents. The marriage record will often give you information that leads to the parents’ birth record. | |||
#Estimate the parents’ age and search for their birth records. | |||
#Repeat the process for both the father and mother. | |||
#If earlier generations are not in the record, search neighboring municipios. | |||
#Search the death records for all family members. | |||
