The FamilySearch Catalog refers to parishes by the town in which the parish church was located, unless there was more than one church in the town. In large cities there may be many parishes for each religion. Church buildings were often named for saints, so the catalog uses the church name such as St. John to distinguish between different parishes in the same city. | The FamilySearch Catalog refers to parishes by the town in which the parish church was located, unless there was more than one church in the town.

*Remember that some names are very common(e.g. Jan Jansz). Don't assume that just because their names are the same that they are the same people. If their are multiple people born around the same time that you cannot distniguish, use these tips: | |||
**Look at the names of their parents and their mothers maiden name. | |||
