-=== Finding the Emigrant’s Town of Origin  ===
-Once you have traced your family back to your immigrant ancestor, you must determine the city or town the ancestor was from. Peru has no nationwide index to birth, marriage, or death records. Vital records were kept locally with duplicates sent to the Superior Court of Justice of the Republic (Corte Superior de Justicia de la República).
-There are several sources that may help you find your ancestor’s place of origin. You may be able to learn the town your ancestor came from by talking to older family members. Members of your family or a library may have documents that name the city or town, such as:
-*Birth, marriage, and death certificates
-*Obituaries
-*Journals
-*Photographs
-*Letters
-*Family Bibles
-*Church certificates or records
-*Naturalization applications and petitions
-*Passenger lists
-*Passports
-*Family heirlooms
-A good book on Peruvian immigration is:
-*Arona, Juan de. La Inmigración en el Perú (Immigration in Peru). Lima: Biblioteca Pública de la Cámara de Diputados, 1971. (FHL book 985 W2a.)
-Additional information about finding the origins of immigrant ancestors is given in Tracing Your Immigrant Origins (34111).
