==How Do I Search This Collection? ==  
==How Do I Search This Collection? ==  
It is helpful to know at least one of the following:
The following information may be found in these records:
*Your ancestor's name
*Your ancestor's name
*Residence
*Residence
*Age or birth date
*Age or birth date
*Names of family members
*Names of family members
Fill in the requested information in the initial search page. This search will return a list of possible matches. Compare the information in the list to what you already know about your ancestor to determine if it is the correct family or person. You may need to compare several persons in the list before you find your ancestor.
=== Search the Index ===
'''To search by image:'''<br>   
{{Search Collection Link
⇒Select "Browse through images" on the initial collection page. <br> 
| CID = CID2037959
⇒Select the appropriate "Quellengattung" <br>
| scheduled =
⇒Select the appropriate "Namensraum oder Beschreibung" which takes you to the images.<br>
}}
==What do I do next?==
=== View the Images ===
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, Now What?===            
| scheduled =
*Use the age in the citizen to find an approximate birth year to begin your search in church or civil records.             
| CID =
*Continue to search the records to identify children, siblings, parents, and other relatives who may have moved, been recruited or lived nearby. This can help you identify other generations of your family. Repeat this process for each new generation you identify. Compile the entries for every person who has the same surname; this is especially helpful in rural areas or if the surname is unusual. This compiled list can help you identify possible relations that can be further verified by researching [https://familysearch.org/wiki/en/Germany_Vital_Records_Index_(FamilySearch_Historical_Records) vital records] in the country.           
| browse_1 = Quellengattung
*When you have located your ancestor’s record, carefully evaluate each piece of information given. Save a copy of the image or transcribe the information. These pieces of information may give you new biographical details such as a title, an occupation, or land ownership. Add this new information to your records of each family. You should also look for leads to other records about your ancestors.

}}
=== 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]].
== What Do I Do Next? ==  
=== I Found the Person I Was Looking For, What Now? ===      
*Add any new information to your records
*If available, check the image for additional information
*Analyze the entry to see if if provides additional clues to find other records of the person or their family             
*[[Germany Church Records|Church Records]] often were kept years before government records were required and are a good source for finding ancestors before 1900.             
*[[Germany Church Records|Church Records]] often were kept years before government records were required and are a good source for finding ancestors before 1900.             
===I Can't Find Who I'm Looking for, Now What?===                
=== I Can’t Find the Person I’m Looking For, What Now? ===        
*Switch to a different record collection. Depending on the time period, either German Civil Registration records or German Church records may be more useful.                   
*Try searching by surname only
*While searching, it is helpful to know such information as the ancestor’s given name and surname, some identifying information such as residence and age, and family relationships. Remember that there may be more than one person in the records with the same name as an ancestor and that the ancestor may have used nicknames or different names at different times.           
*The person may be recorded with an abbreviated or variant form of their name
*Keep in mind that there may be more than one person in the records with the same name.           
*Remember that spelling was generally not standardized until the early part of the 20th century
*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. Pay special attention to how the name should have been pronounced and try variations on the pronunciation.
