===Search Strategy=== | |||
* Begin with the death information of the focus ancestor and locate the death record. | |||
* Use the information on that death record to locate the ancestor's marriage record. | |||
* Use the information on that marriage record to locate the ancestor's birth record. | |||
* Once the birth record is found, search for the focus ancestor's siblings. | |||
* Next, search for the marriage of the focus ancestor's parents. The marriage record will have information that often helps locate the birth records of the parents. | |||
* Search the death registers for all known family members. | |||
* Repeat this process for both the father and the mother, starting with their birth records, then their siblings' births, then their parents' marriages, and so on. | |||
* If earlier generations (parents, grandparents, etc.) do not appear in the records, search neighboring parishes. It is possible they may have moved or boundaries changed. | |||
