== How Do I Search the Collection? ==
== How Do I Search the Collection? ==
 
Before searching this collection, it is helpful to know:
Some record sets have indexes; these indexes were created at the end of the year. Copy errors could have been made in the index, so you want to find the actual record to verify the information is correct. Using the index is a helpful way to find the actual record.
*Name of the person
 
*Approximate date of the event
'''When searching:'''<br> As you are searching it is helpful to know such information as your ancestor's given name and surname, some identifying information such as residence, age, and family relationships.

=== How Do I Analyze the Results? ===
'''To search by image:'''<br> To search the collection you will need to follow this series of links:<br> ⇒Select "Browse through images" on the initial collection page <br> ⇒ Select the 'Município' (Municipality) category<br> ⇒ Select the 'Cartório' (Notary Office) category<br> ⇒ Select the 'Tipo de registro e anos' (Record Type and Years) category which takes you to the images.<br>
Compare each result from your search with what you know to determine if there is a match. This may require viewing multiple records or images. Keep track of your research in a [[Use_Appropriate_Forms#Prepare_a_Research_Log | research log]].

=== I Can’t Find the Person I’m Looking For, What Now? ===
== Tips to Keep in Mind  ==
*The person may be recorded with an abbreviated or variant form of his name
 
*Try searching by surname only
*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, 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
