==Building a Family Record with a Search Strategy== | |||
Many articles on strategy are available on the Wiki, but here is a simple set of steps to guide you | |||
*Search for the relative or ancestor you selected. When you find his birth/baptism/christening record, then 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, and even the names of their parents. | |||
*You can '''estimate the ages''' of the parents and determine a birth year to search for their birth records. | |||
*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. | |||
