== What Do I Do Next? ==

*Cite the record. See [[#Citing This Collection|below]] for help citing this collection.
*Look at an image of the original record. The original may contain information that was not recorded in the index. To find a copy of the original record, visit the [http://www.victoria.ca/EN/main/residents/archives.html Victoria City Archives] page.
*To help keep track of your research, you may want to keep a research log. FamilySearch has an example [https://s3.amazonaws.com/ps-services-us-east-1-914248642252/s3/research-wiki-elasticsearch-prod-s3bucket/images/5/50/Research_Log.pdf example research log] which you can download.
*Use the information you have found to find the person in local census records.
*[[British Columbia Church Records]] were kept years before counties began keeping records. They are a good source for finding ancestors before 1900.
=== I Can’t Find the Person I’m Looking For, What Now? ===
*If your ancestor does not have a common name, collect entries for every person who has the same surname. This list can help you find possible relatives.
*If you cannot locate your ancestor in the locality in which you believe they lived, then try searching records of a nearby town or county. 
*Try different spellings of your ancestor’s name.
*Remember that sometimes individuals went by [http://usgenweb.org/research/nicknames.html 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.
