===Search Strategy===
*Search for the relative or ancestor you selected. When you find his birth record, search for the births of his '''brothers and sisters'''.
*Next, search for the '''marriage of his parents.''' The marriage record will have information that will often help you find the birth records of the parents.
*You can '''estimate the ages''' of the parents and search for their birth records.
*Search the '''death registers for all family members.'''
*Then '''repeat the whole process''' for both the father and the mother.
*If earlier generations are not in the record,''' search neighboring parishes. '''
