-=== Finding the Immigrant’s Town of Origin  ===
-Once you have traced your family back to an immigrant ancestor, you must determine the city or town the ancestor was from. There are several sources that may help you locate your ancestor’s place of origin. You may be able to learn the town your ancestor came from by talking to other family members. Relatives, a local Chilean society, or a library may have also documents that name your ancestor’s city or town of origin. These documents include:
-*Birth, marriage, and death certificates
-*Journals
-*Photographs
-*Letters
-*Family Bibles or other family records
-*Church records
-*Naturalization applications and petitions
-*Obituaries
-*Passenger lists
-*Passports
-*Family heirlooms
-*Local histories of the area where your ancestor settled
-Census records can also be a source of immigration information. However, they typically list only the country of a person’s origin rather than the specific town or parish. (See [[Chile Census]] for more information.) History records can also be a source of immigration information. (See [[Chile Church History]]).
-Additional information about finding the origins of immigrant ancestors is given in ''[[Tracing Immigrant Origins]]''.
