== Tips on Searching the Civil Registration Index at [[Pilot.familysearch.org|Pilot.FamilySearch.Org]] == | |||
*If you want to narrow your search by using the registration district, you must choose the option of "exact, close & partial matches" otherwise this narrow search will not work. | |||
*If you don't know the registration district, then the search can be narrowed by using the county. The next section explains how to determine the registration district. | |||
*To search again, choose refine search. If you choose new search, you will return to the home page and have to go to the Ireland Civil Records search page again. | |||
*The search engine is not picking up all of the name varriants. For example, if you search on Hanora, then you get a different set of results than if you searched on Honora. Thus, you should manually try other name varriants if you do not find the person you are looking for. | |||
