==== Tips for finding your ancestor in the records ====

Effective use of church records includes the following strategies. 

*Search for the relative or ancestor you selected. When you find his birth record, 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. 
*You can estimate the ages of the parents and determine a birth year to search for their birth records. 
*Then repeat the process for both the father and the mother. 
*If earlier generations (parents, grandparents, etc.) do not appear in the records, search neighboring parishes. 
*Search the death registers for all known family members.
