 Look at the images one by one comparing the information with what you already know about your ancestors to determine which one is your ancestor. You may need to compare the information about more than one person to make this determination.
+Keep in mind:
+*There may be more than one person in the records with the same name.
+*You may not be sure of your own ancestor’s name.
+*Your ancestor may have used different names or variations of their name throughout their life.
 To begin your search it is helpful to know the full name of your ancestor and the approximate date of immigration. If you do not know this information, check the census records after 1900.
