=== How Do I Analyze the Results? ===
==== Using the Information  ====
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? ==
When you have located your ancestor’s record, carefully evaluate each piece of information given. These pieces of information may give you new biographical details that can lead you to other records about your ancestors. Add this new information to your records of each family. For example, you can use passenger lists to:
Indexes and transcriptions may not include all the data found in the original records. Look at the actual image of the record, if you can, to verify the information and to find additional information.  
 
=== I Found the Person I Was Looking For, What Now? ===
*Learn an immigrant’s place of origin
*Add any new information to your records
*Confirm their date of arrival
*Use the information found in the record to find other records such as emigrations, port records, and ship’s manifests
*Learn foreign and “Americanized” names  
*Use the record to learn your ancestor’s foreign and “Americanized” names, if they were different
*Find records in his or her country of origin such as emigrations, port records, or ship’s manifests.
*Use the record to learn the place of origin and find their church and vital records such as birth, baptism, and marriage records
 
*Use the information found in the record to find land and probate records
==== Tips to Keep in Mind  ====
*Use the record to see if other family members who may have immigrated with the person you are looking for are listed and have additional information or leads; you may also find additional information on new family members in censuses
 
*Repeat this process with additional family members found, to find more generations of the family
*If your ancestor had a common name, be sure to look at all the entries for a name before you decide which is correct.
=== I Can’t Find the Person I’m Looking For, What Now? ===
*Continue to search the passenger lists to identify siblings, parents, and other relatives in the same or other generations who may have immigrated at the same time.  
*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 your ancestor has an uncommon surname, you may want to obtain the passenger list of every person who shares your ancestor’s surname if they lived in the same county or nearby. You may not know how or if they are related, but the information could lead you to more information about your own ancestors.
*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
==== Unable to Find Your Ancestor?  ====
*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
 
*Look for the Declaration of Intent soon after the immigrant arrived. Then look for the Naturalization Petition five years later, when the residency requirement would have been met. Look for naturalization records in federal courts, then in state, county, or city courts. An individual may have filed the first and final papers in different courts and sometimes in a different state if the person moved. Immigrants who were younger than 18 when they arrived did not need to file a Declaration of Intent as part of the process
*Check for variant spellings of the name.
*Check other possible ports of entry
*Look for an index. Records are often indexed by local historical and genealogical societies.  
=== Research Helps ===
*Search the passenger lists year by year.

To search the collection
⇒ Select "Browse through images" on the initial collection page

Look at the images one by one comparing the information with what you already know about your ancestors to determine if the image relates to them.

  • 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.

When you have located your ancestor’s record, carefully evaluate each piece of information given. These pieces of information may give you new biographical details that can lead you to other records about your ancestors. Add this new information to your records of each family. For example, you can use passenger lists to:

  • Learn an immigrant’s place of origin
  • Confirm their date of arrival
