| ===Search Strategies===
| |
|
| |
| To effectively use civil records, follow these steps:
| |
|
| |
| #Search for the relative or ancestor you have selected. When you find the person’s birth record, search for the births of his or her brothers and sisters.
| |
| #Search for the marriage of his or her parents. The marriage record will often give you information that leads to the parents’ birth record.
| |
| #Estimate the parents’ age and search for their birth records.
| |
| #Repeat the process for both the father and mother.
| |
| #If earlier generations are not in the record, search neighboring municipios.
| |
| #Search the death records for all family members.<br>
