*The name of your ancestor

*The birth date and birth place of your ancestor
*The birth date and birth place of your ancestor.
*The death date and death place of your ancestor

=== Search the Index ===
 
{{Search Collection Link
 
| CID=CID2127918
'''Search by Name by visiting the [https://familysearch.org/search/collection/2127918?collectionNameFilter=false Collection Page]:'''<br>Fill in the requested information in the initial search page. This search will return a list of possible ancestors. Compare the information in the list to what you already know about your ancestor to determine which individual is your ancestor. You may need to compare the information of more than one person to make this determination. Next, click on your ancestor's name. This will take you to a descriptive page with a link to the image.
}}
 
=== How Do I Analyze the Results? ===
Keep in mind:
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]].
 
*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.
 
== What Do I Do Next?==
== What Do I Do Next?==
=== I Found the Person I Was Looking For, What Now? ===
*Add any new information to your records
*Use the age and the estimated birth year to calculate an approximate birth date
*Use the date and place of death to find the family in census records
*Not each record contains the same data. For example, some records may be missing the place of death, age, or date of place
=== I Can't Find the Person I'm Looking For, What Now?  ===
*Look for variant spellings of the names. You should also look for nicknames and abbreviated names
*Look for another index. Local genealogical and historical societies often have indexes to local records
*Search the indexes and records of nearby counties
*Try alternative search methods such as only filling in the surname search box (or the given name search box) on the landing page leaving the other box empty and then click on search. This should return a list of everyone with that particular name. You could then browse the list for individuals that may be your ancestor
