==Research Strategies== | |||
Effective use of church records includes the following strategies: | |||
*Search for the relative or ancestor. When you find his or her birth record, search for the births of brothers and sisters. | |||
*Next search for the parents' marriage date and place. The marriage record will often lead to the parents' birth records. | |||
*You can estimate the ages of the parents and determine a birth year to search for their birth records. If more than one possible candidate is found, search confirmation, marriage, and burial records to determine the correct individual. If available, census-type records or family books can be used as well. | |||
*Try to find the parents death/burial entries, since these records may give their age at death. | |||
*Use the above strategies for both the father and the mother. | |||
*If earlier generations are not in the record you are using, search neighboring parishes and other denominations. | |||
*Search the burial registers for all family members. | |||
