== How to Use the Record  ==
=== Digital Folder Number List ===
 
{{DFNL_List | page = [[United States, Obituaries, American Historical Society of Germans from Russia Digital Folder Number List]] }}
To begin your search you will need to know your ancestor’s name and other identifying information such as:  
== How Do I Search This Collection? ==  
 
Before searching this collection, it is helpful to know:
*The approximate death date
*The name of the person
*The person’s last known residence
*The name of a spouse or other relatives
 
*Death date
==== Search the Collection ====
=== Search the Index ===
 
{{Search Collection Link | CID=CID2367299 }}
To search the collection by name fill in your ancestor’s name in the initial search page. This search will return a list of possible matches. Compare the information about those in the list to what you already know about your own ancestors to determine if this is the correct family or person.  
=== View the Images ===
 
{{DFNL View | page = [https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/United_States,_Obituaries,_American_Historical_Society_of_Germans_from_Russia_Digital_Folder_Number_List Digital Folder Number List] | CID = 2367299 }}
If you did not find the person you were looking for, you may need to search the collection by image. <br> ⇒ Select "Browse through images" on the initial collection page <br> ⇒ Select the appropriate "Surname Range" which takes you to the images
=== 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]].
Look at each image. Again you will need to compare the information with what you already know about your ancestors to determine which one is your ancestor.  
== What Do I Do Next? ==
 
Indexes and transcriptions may not include all the data found in the original records. Look at the actual image of the record, if you can, to verify the information and to find additional information.  
Be aware that with either search you may need to compare the information about more than one person to make this determination. Keep in mind:
=== I Found the Person I Was Looking For, What Now? ===
 
*Add any new information to your records
*There may be more than one person in the records with the same name.
*If available, check the image for additional information
*You may not be sure of your own ancestor’s name.
*Analyze the entry to see if it provides additional clues to find other records of the person or their family
*Your ancestor may have used different names or variations of their name throughout their life.
*[[United States Church Records| Church Records]] were kept years before counties began keeping records. They are a good source for finding ancestors before 1900
*If your ancestor used an alias or a nickname, be sure to check for those alternate names.
=== I Can’t Find the Person I’m Looking For, What Now? ===  
*Even though these indexes are very accurate they may still contain inaccuracies, such as altered spellings, misinterpretations, and optical character recognition errors if the information was scanned.
*The person may be recorded with an abbreviated or variant form of their name
 
*Try searching by surname only
For tips about searching on-line collections, see the wiki article [[FamilySearch Search Tips and Tricks]].
*Remember that spelling was generally not standardized until the early part of the 20th century
 
=== Research Helps ===
==== Using the Information  ====
The following articles will help you research your family in the [[United States Genealogy|United States]].
 
* [[GuidedResearch:United States]]
Once you have located your ancestor’s obituary, carefully evaluate each piece of information given. These records are often brief so it can be easy to confuse individuals. Compare what information is given with what you already know about your ancestor to make sure it is the correct person.
* [[United States Record Finder]]
 
* [[United States Research Tips and Strategies]]
Next, look at the pieces of information given in the obituary for new information. Add any new information to your records of each family. You should also look for leads to other records about your ancestors. For example:
 
*Use the birth date or year to search for birth records.
*Use the birth date along with relative’s names to find the family in census records.
*Use the locality and relative’s names to locate church and land records.
 
==== Tips to Keep in Mind  ====
 
*The name of the undertaker or mortuary could lead you to funeral and cemetery records, which often include the names and residences of other family members.
*Compile the entries for every person who has the same surname; this is especially helpful in rural areas or if the surname is unusual.
*Continue to search the records to identify children, siblings, parents, and other relatives of the deceased who may have been buried in the same cemetery or nearby. This can help you identify other generations of your family. Repeat this process for each new generation you identify.
*When looking for a person who had a common name, look at all the entries for the name before deciding which is correct.
 
==== Unable to Find Your Ancestor? ====
 
*Look for variant spellings of the names. You should also look for nicknames and abbreviated names.
*Search the indexes and records of nearby cemeteries.
