  • Use the information to find other records such as birth, christening, marriage, census, land and probate records

I Can’t Find the Person I’m Looking For, What Now?

  • Try viewing the original record to see if there were errors in the transcription of the name, age, residence, etc. Remember that there may be more than one person in the records with the same name
  • Collect entries for every person who has the same surname
  • If you cannot locate your ancestor in the locality in which you believe they lived, then try searching records of a nearby locality
