 == What Do I Do Next?  ==
-When you have located your ancestor on a manifest 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.
+Whenever possible, view the original records to verify the information and to find additional information that might not be reported. These pieces of information can lead you to additional records and family members.
 === I Found Who I was Looking for, What Now? ===
-Use passenger lists to:
+*Use the information to find other records such as emigrations, port records, ship’s manifests, birth, christening, census, and land records.
-*Learn an immigrant’s place of origin
-*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.
+*Use the information to find additional family members.
-*If your ancestor had a common name, be sure to look at all the entries for a name before you decide which is correct.
+*Repeat this process with additional family members found, to find more generations of the family.
-*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.
+*[[Texas Church Records|Church Records]] often were kept years before government records were required and are a good source for finding ancestors before 1900.
-*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.
-===I Can't Find Who I'm Looking for, What Now? ===
-*Look for variant spellings of the names. You should also look for alias names, nicknames and abbreviated names.
+=== I Can’t Find Who I’m Looking for, What Now? ===
-*Look for an index. There are often indexes at the beginning of each volume. Local genealogical and historical societies often have indexes to local records.
+*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.
-*Search the indexes and records of nearby localities.
+*Collect entries for every person who has the same surname.  This list can help you identify possible relations that can be verified by records.
-*Try alternative search methods such as only filling in the surname search box (or the given name search box) on the landing page leaving the other box empty and then click on search. This should return a list of everyone with that particular name. You could then browse the list for individuals that may be your ancestor.
+*If you cannot locate your ancestor in the locality in which you believe they lived, then try searching records of a nearby locality in an area search.
-*Search the indexes of other port cities.
+*Standard spelling of names typically did not exist during the periods our ancestors lived in. Try variations of your ancestor’s name while searching the index or browsing through images.
+*Remember that sometimes individuals went by [http://usgenweb.org/research/nicknames.shtml nicknames] or alternated between using first and middle names. Try searching for [http://genealogy.about.com/od/first_names/fl/nickname-given-name-equivalents.htm these names] as well.
+*Search the indexes and records of [[Texas, United States Genealogy]].
+*Search in the [[Texas Archives and Libraries]].
