*Try searching by surname only
*Look for variant spellings of the names. You should also look for nicknames and abbreviated names
*Remember that spelling was generally not standardized until the early part of the 20th century
*Look for another index. Local genealogical and historical societies often have indexes to local records
*If available, search another collection for the locality
*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
