*There may be more than one person in the records with the same name.
== How Do I Search This Collection? ==
*You may not be sure of your own ancestor’s name.
Before searching this collection, it is helpful to know:
*Your ancestor may have used different names or variations of their name throughout their life.
*Name of the person
*The location or date of the event


== What Do I Do Next? ==

=== How Do I Analyze the Results? ===
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]].


When you have located your ancestor’s record, carefully evaluate each piece of information given. Save a copy of the image or transcribe the information. These pieces of information may give you new biographical details. Add this new information to your records of each family. You should also look for leads to other records about your ancestors.
== What Do I Do Next? ==
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.  


== What If I Can't Find Who I'm Looking For? ==
=== I Found the Person I Was Looking For, What Now? ===
* Use the ages listed to determine approximate birth dates and find the family in the censuses.
*Use the information found in the record to find church and vital records such as birth, baptism, marriage, and death records.
*Use the information found in the record to find land, probate and immigration records.
*Repeat this process with additional family members found, to find more generations of the family.
*[[Texas Church Records| Church Records]] were kept years before counties began keeping records. They are a good source for finding ancestors before 1900.


*Look for variant spellings of the names. You should also look for nicknames and abbreviated names.  
=== I Can’t Find Who I’m Looking For, What Now? === 
*Look for an index. There are often indexes at the beginning of each volume. Local genealogical and historical societies often have indexes to local records.  
*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.
*Search the indexes and records of nearby counties.
*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.
*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.
*Check the info box above for additional FamilySearch websites and related websites that may assist you in finding similar records.
