The registers are arranged by the name of the military post, and thereunder usually in rough chronological order by date of burial. The burial registers primarily include soldiers of the Regular Army and Union Army (volunteers). Many civilians, usually wives or children of military personnel, are also listed, as well as some Confederate Army soldiers.

'''Search by Name by visiting the [https://familysearch.org/search/collection/2250027?collectionNameFilter=false Collection Page]:'''<br>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.

=== 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 comparing the information with what you already know about your ancestors to determine if the image relates to them. You may need to look at several images and compare the information about the individuals listed in those images to your ancestors to make this determination.  
 
With either search 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.

*{{RecordSearch|1919699|United States General Index to Pension Files, 1861-1934}}
*Use the burial locality and the names to find the family in census, church and land records.
*The name of the undertaker or mortuary could lead you to funeral 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.
*If you are unable to find your ancestor check for variant spellings of the surnames.
 
=== 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.
*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.
*Search the indexes and records of nearby localities.
*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.
