==Archival Research==
Sometimes, archive research is necessary to obtain a record that has not been digitized or request a clearer copy of a record found online or on microfilm. This can be done either through letter correspondence, email (sometimes), or researching in person. Please read [[Portugal Church Directories]] for contact information for dioceses and parishes.
Because all of the parish records containing genealogical data were moved to district archives, the staff at these archives will need to be contacted in order to obtain a copy of the desired record.
Many times, duplicate copies of birth, marriage, and death records were sent to a parish's dioceses. These institutions also store marriage impediments, and other documentation that may be useful in tracing a parish priest. You can find contact information for dioceses at the website [http://www.conferenciaepiscopal.pt/v1/dioceses/ Conferência Episcopal Portuguesa].
It is recommended that the archivist always be contacted before planning a visit to the archive. For help writing a letter requesting records or preparing for an actual visit, refer to [[Portuguese Letter-writing Guide|Portuguese Letter Writing Guide]].
