===Finding the Municipality Name=== | ===Finding the Place Name=== | ||
=====Parish Name===== | |||
The first few pages of a parish register typically contain an opening statement, a cover page, or both that says what the particular book is. It will usually include the parish name and the municipality it covers. You may need to click through the first few pages of the digital images to find the opening statement or cover page. Here are a few examples of what you may experience: | |||
*You can typically spot the parish name by the words "parroquia de", which both mean parish.<br><br> | |||

*Some books may contain more than one parish. The priest will sometimes mention this in the opening statement of the book. | |||
*You would put this on the spreadsheet as "Nossa Senhora Mai dos Homens" in the "Place" column. In this instance, the priest also says there is another parish within this book. "Santo Antonio dos Anjos da cidade da Laguna". You can put this information in the "Notes" column and it will be added later. | |||
*You will not need to know how to translate the entire paragraph, just train your eye to look for the words "parroquia de". If there is more than one parish mentioned, put it in the "Notes" column.<br><Br> | |||
