This collection will include records from 1816 to 1982.

== How to Use the Record  ==
This section provides information on how to search the collection, what to do with information once found, some tips on how to find records, and what to do if no record is found.
'''When searching:'''<br> As you are searching, it is helpful to know such information as your ancestor's given name and surname, some identifying information such as residence, age, estimated birth year, estimated death year, approximate years of military service, probable religious affiliation, and family relationships.
=== Search the Collection  ===
'''To search by index:'''<br> Fill in the requested information in the initial search page. This search will return a list of possible matches. Compare the information about the ancestors in the list to what you already know about your ancestors to determine if this is the correct family or person. You may need to compare the information about more than one person to find your ancestor.
'''To browse by image:'''<br> To search the collection you will need to follow this series of links:<br> ⇒Select "Browse through images" on the initial collection page<br> ⇒Select the appropriate "Record Type" category<br> ⇒Select the appropriate "Event Country-State" category <br>⇒Select the appropriate "Event City" category <br>⇒Select the appropriate "Cemetery" category which takes you to the images.
Search the collection by image comparing the information with what you already know about your ancestors to determine if the image relates to them. You may need to look at several images and compare the information about the individuals listed in those images to your ancestors to make this determination.
=== Using the Information ===
*Use the estimated age to calculate a birth date.
*Use the soldier's age and location of the military unit to find his family in census, church, and land records.
*Use the soldier's military information to locate other records such as pension files.
*Use the information from church records to locate civil records.
=== Tips to Keep in Mind ===
*When looking for a person who had a common name, look at all the entries for the name before deciding which is correct.
*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.
*Continue to search the index and records to identify children, siblings, parents, and other relatives who may be in the same record collection.
*Be aware that, as with any index, transcription errors may occur.
=== Unable to Find Your Ancestor? ===
*Check for variant spellings of the names.
*Search the records of nearby localities (or military unites, counties, parishes, etc.).
*Sometimes browsing through the images will help you work around indexing errors or locate other ancestors previously unknown.
