==== Using the Information  ====
=== How Do I Analyze the Results? ===
 
Compare each result from your search with what you know to determine if there is a match. This may require viewing multiple records or images. Keep track of your research in a [[Use_Appropriate_Forms#Prepare_a_Research_Log |research log]].
When you have located your ancestor’s record, carefully evaluate each piece of information given. These pieces of information may give you new biographical details that can lead you to other records about your ancestors. Add this new information to your records of each family. For example, use passenger lists to:
== What Do I Do Next? ==


=== I Found the Person I Was Looking For, What Now?  ===
*Add any new information to your records
Use passenger lists to:
*Learn an immigrant’s place of origin  
*Learn an immigrant’s place of origin  
*Confirm their date of arrival  
*Confirm their date of arrival  
*Learn foreign and “Americanized” names
*Find records in his or her country of origin such as emigrations, port records, or ship’s manifests.
==== Tips to Keep in Mind  ====
*If your ancestor had a common name, be sure to look at all the entries for a name before you decide which is correct.
*Continue to search the passenger lists to identify siblings, parents, and other relatives in the same or other generations who may have immigrated at the same time.
*If your ancestor has an uncommon surname, you may want to obtain the passenger list of every person who shares your ancestor’s surname if they lived in the same county or nearby. You may not know how or if they are related, but the information could lead you to more information about your own ancestors.
*Arrival lists was used by legal authorities to gather personal information about immigrants prior to the person being allowed to live in the United States.
*The information was supplied by the immigrant or a traveling companion (usually a family member). Incorrect information was occasionally given, or mistakes may have been made when the clerk guessed at the spelling of foreign names.
==== Unable to Find Your Ancestor?  ====
*Check for variant spellings of the name.
*Look for other indexes. Records are often indexed by local historical and genealogical societies.
*Search the passenger lists year by year.
*Search the indexes of other port cities.
