| ==Carefully compare any record you find to known facts about the ancestor==
| |
| You will possibly find many different people with the '''same name as your ancestor,''' especially when a family stayed in a locality for several generations, and several children were named after the '''grandparents or aunts and uncles'''. Be prepared to find the correct church records by organizing in advance as many of these exact details about the ancestor '''as possible''':
| |
| *'''name''', including '''middle name and maiden name'''
| |
| *names of all '''spouses''', including middle and maiden name
| |
| *exact or closely estimated '''dates of birth, marriage, and death'''

If one or more of the details do not line up, be careful about accepting the entry as your ancestor.
