== What Do I Do Next?==
=== Using the Information  ===
=== I Found the Person I Was Looking For, What Now? ===
 
*Add any new information to your records
When you have located your ancestor’s record, carefully evaluate each piece of information given. Download a copy of the record, or extract the genealogical information needed. These pieces of information may give you new biographical details. Add this new information to your records of each family. The information may also lead you to other records about your ancestors. The following examples show ways you can use the information:
*If available, check the image for additional information
 
*Analyze the entry to see if it provides additional clues to find other records of the person or their family
*Use the parents’ names and birth place to search for extended family in place of birth.
*[[Utah Church Records]] were kept years before counties began keeping records. They are a good source for finding ancestors before 1900
*Use the missionary’s age and location to find his family in census, church, and land records.  
=== I Can’t Find the Person I’m Looking For, What Now? ===
*Use the birth date and place to obtain a copy of the original birth certificate.
*Try searching by surname only
 
*The person may be recorded with an abbreviated or variant form of their name
=== Tips to Keep in Mind  ===
*Remember that spelling was generally not standardized until the early part of the 20th century
 
*Check the info box above for additional FamilySearch websites and related websites that may assist you in finding similar records
*When looking for a person who had a common name, look at all the entries for the name before deciding which is correct.
=== Research Helps ===
*Remember that there may be more than one person in the records with the same name as your ancestor and that your ancestor may have used nicknames or different names at different times.
The following articles will help you research your family in the state of [[Utah, United States Genealogy|Utah]].
