 ==What Do I Do Next?==
-*Use the marriage date and place as the basis for compiling a new family group or for verifying existing information
+*Add any new information to your records
-*Use the birth date, age, and/or place of birth to find an individual’s birth record and parents' names
+*Make sure to fully transcribe and cite the record entry for future reference; see the section [[#Citing This Collection|Citing This Collection]] for assistance. Save or print a copy of the image
-*Use the birth date, age, and/or place of birth to find the family in census records. [[Philippines Census]]
+*Use the information to find more. For instance, use the age listed in the record to estimate a year of birth, if that is yet undetermined
-*Use the place of residence and names of parents to locate civil and land records. [[Philippines Land and Property]]
+*Compile the marriage entries for every person who has the same surname as the bride or groom; this is especially helpful in rural areas or if the surname is unusual
-*Use parents' birth places to find former residences and to establish a migration pattern for the family
+*Use the parents' birth places to find former residences and to establish a migration pattern for the family
-*The name of a marriage officiator may be a clue to your ancestor’s religion or area of residence in the province. Keep in mind, however, that ministers may have reported marriages performed in other provinces
+*Use the marriage number to identify previous marriages
-*Compile marriage entries for each person who has the same surname as the bride or groom. This may help lead you to additional relations, especially if the family was living in a rural area or had an unusual surname
-*Use the marital status to identify previous marriages. (Divorce or death may have dissolved a previous marriage)
-*Witnesses were often relatives of the couple’s parents
 === I Can’t Find the Person I’m Looking For, What Now? ===
-*Consider searching the records of a neighboring province. The province of Eastern Samar is on an island that includes Northern Samar province to the north, Samar province to the west, and Leyte province to the southwest
+*Spelling was not standardized for much of the period of this collection, so names were often spelled as they were pronounced. Pay attention to how the name should have been pronounced and try spelling variations that could have that pronunciation
-*Civil registration records are also good to search when church records are insufficient
+*[http://broadcast.lds.org/elearning/FHD/Community/en/FamilySearch/Handwriting/Spanish/Lesson2/SpanishNameAbbreviations.pdf Spanish name abbreviations] may also be helpful with names
-**[[Philippines, Civil Registration, Local (FamilySearch Historical Records)]]
+*Vary the search terms. For example, search by either the given name or surname to return broader list of possible candidates which can then be examined for matches. Alternatively, try expanding the date range
+*Search the records of nearby localities. While it was uncommon for an individual in this period to move more than about 20 miles from their place of birth, smaller relocations were not uncommon
+*[[Philippines Civil Registration]] records are a good substitute when birth, marriage, and death records can’t be found or are unavailable
+*The [[Philippines Births and Baptisms, Coverage Table (FamilySearch Historical Records)]] may also be useful.
+*New information is constantly being indexed, microfilmed or updated.  Periodically check back and see if your ancestor’s records have been added.  You can see if the area you’ve been looking in has been recently updated by going to [https://familysearch.org/search/collection/list Historical Records Collections] and notice the asterisk for recently added or updated record
 === Record Finder ===
 *Consult the [[Philippines Record Finder]] Table to find other records
-=== Tips to Keep in Mind ===
-*When looking for a person who had a common name, look at all the entries for the name before deciding which is correct
-*Information in death records is usually reliable but depends upon the knowledge of the informant
-*In marriage and death records your ancestor may have used a shortened name or nickname, so pay attention to other relationships (parents, spouse, siblings, children, etc.) that can confirm whether you have the right person/record
-*Continue to search marriage records to identify children, siblings, parents, and other relatives of the bride and groom who may have married in the same county or nearby. This can help you identify other generations of your family or even the second marriage of a parent
