=== 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]].
== What Do I Do Next? ==
== What Do I Do Next? ==
Whenever possible, view the original records to verify the information and to find additional information that might not be reported. These pieces of information can lead you to additional records and family members. 
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.  
===I Found Who I was Looking for, What Now?===
=== I Found the Person I Was Looking For, What Now? ===
*Use the name, residence, and approximate birth date to locate your ancestor in church, land, and census records.
*Add any new information to your records
*Use occupations to find military records.
*Search for naturalization records
*Use the naturalization information to find immigration and naturalization court documents which lead to the country of origin.  Then search for records in the country of origin.
*Search for military records
*Use the information in each record to find additional family members.
*Use the information found in the record to find additional family members in census records
*Repeat this process with additional family member’s records to find more generations of the family.
*Search for vital records, such as birth, marriage, and death
*[[California Church Records|Church Records]] often were kept years before government records were required and are a good source for finding ancestors before 1900.
=== I Can’t Find the Person I’m Looking For, What Now? ===
 
*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
 
*If you cannot locate your ancestor in the locality in which you believe they lived, then try searching other possible localities or ports of entry
=== I Can’t Find Who I’m Looking for, What Now? ===
*Try different spellings of your ancestor’s name
*Try viewing the original record to see if there were errors in the transcription of the name, age, residence, etc.  Remember that there may be more than one person in the records with the same name.
*Remember that sometimes individuals went by [http://usgenweb.org/research/nicknames.html nicknames] or alternated between using first and middle names  
*Collect entries for every person who has the same surname. This list can help you identify possible relations that can be verified by records.
*Look for the Declaration of Intent soon after the immigrant arrived. Then look for the naturalization petition five years later, when the residency requirement would have been met. Look for naturalization records in federal courts, then in state, county, or city courts. An individual may have filed the first and final papers in different courts and sometimes in a different state if the person moved. Immigrants who were younger than 18 when they arrived did not need to file a Declaration of Intent as part of the process
*If you cannot locate your ancestor in the locality in which you believe they lived, then try searching records of a nearby locality in an area search. 
=== Research Helps ===
*Standard spelling of names typically did not exist during the periods our ancestors lived in. Try variations of your ancestor’s name while searching the index or browsing through images. 
The following articles will help you research your family in the state of [[California, United States Genealogy|California]].
*Remember that sometimes individuals went by [http://usgenweb.org/research/nicknames.shtml 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.
