This table can help you decide which records to search. It is most helpful for post-1850 research.  
== Record Finder Table for Vermont ==
The following Record Finder table assists researchers in determining record types that may list the information they are looking for.
=== Order of Records ===
The typically most reliable sources are listed at the top of the list. However, depending on the time period of the record and location, multiple records in the list may need to be searched to achieve the objective. Alternative records are listed as well in case traditional records do not provide the desired information.


#In column 1 find the category closest to your research goal.
== List of Topics ==
#In column 2 find the types of records most likely to have the information you need.
This Record Finder table links to the Vermont topic Wiki pages, containing databases and other information about accessing the records.
#In column 3 find additional record types that may be useful.
#Look in the section of these Wiki pages that corresponds to the record type you chose. It explains what the records might tell you, how to search them, and how to find the records in the ''Place Search'' of the [[Introduction to the FamilySearch Catalog|FamilySearch Catalog]]. Some records are not at the library.


'''Note: '''Records of previous research—genealogy, biography, history, periodicals, and societies—are useful for most goals but are not listed unless they are ''especially'' helpful.
