__TOC__


#In column 1 select a research goal.
== Record Finder Table for [STATE] ==
#In column 2 find the types of records most likely to have the information you need.  
The following Record Finder table assists researchers in determining record types that may list the information they are looking for.  
#In column 3 find additional record types that may be useful.
=== Order of Records ===
#Then look in the section of this article that corresponds to the record type you chose. It explains what the records might tell you, how to search them, and how to find the records in the Locality Search of the FamilySearch Catalog. Some records are not at the library.
The typically most reliable sources are listed at the top of the list. However, depending on the time period of the record and location, multiple records in the list may need to be searched to achieve the objective. Alternative records are listed as well in case traditional records do not provide the desired information.


<br>'''Note: '''Records of previous research (genealogies, biographies, histories, periodicals, and societies) are useful for most goals but are not listed unless they are ''especially'' helpful. <br>
== List of Topics ==
This Record Finder table links to the [STATE] topic Wiki pages, containing databases and other information about accessing the records.
