*Search for the relative or ancestor you selected. When you find his birth record, search for the births of his '''brothers and sisters'''. | |||
*Next, search for the '''marriage of his parents.''' The marriage record will have information that will often help you find the birth records of the parents. | |||
*You can '''estimate the ages''' of the parents and determine a birth year to search for their birth records. | |||
*Search the death registers for all known family members. | |||
*Repeat this process for both the father and the mother, starting with their birth records, then their siblings' births, then their parents' marriages, and so on. | |||
*If earlier generations (parents, grandparents, etc.) do not appear in the records, search neighboring parishes. | |||
