To search the collection, select "Browse through images" on the initial collection page ⇒ Select the Description which takes you to the images. | |||

Begin your search by finding your ancestors in the card index. Name indexes make it possible to access a specific record quickly. Check the index for the surname and then the given name. You may need to look at many cards to find the one you are seeking. Remember that these indexes may contain inaccuracies, such as altered spellings, misinterpretations, and optical character recognition errors if the information was scanned. | Begin your search by finding your ancestors in the card index.
