== Civil and District Civil Registry Offices == | |||
In Brazil, records created by the local government, including birth, death, and marriage records, are kept in the local registry offices (Cartório Municipal) or the district registry offices (Cartório Distrital). These records are available to the public. For more information about these offices and their records, see [[Brazil Civil Registration|'''Brazil Civil Registration''']]. | |||
If records are not available through the Family History Library from the towns your ancestors were from, you may need to write to the registry offices in that area. For help writing a letter in Portuguese, see the [[Portuguese Letter-writing Guide|'''Portuguese Letter-Writing Guide''']]. | |||
