Use the birth date along with the place of birth to find the family in census records. <br>Use the residence and names of the parents to locate church and land records. <br>The father’s occupation can lead you to employment records or other types of records such as military records. <br>The parent’s birth places can tell you former residences and can help to establish a migration pattern for the family. <br>It is often helpful to extract the information on all children with the same parents. If the surname is unusual, you may want to compile birth entries for every person of the same surname and sort them into families based on the names of the parents. Continue to search the birth records to identify siblings, parents, and other relatives in the same or other generations who were born in the same county or nearby.
