== How Do I Search This Collection? ==
 
Before searching this collection, it helpful to know:
To begin your search it would be helpful to know:
*The name of deceased  
*Name of deceased  
*The approximate date of death
*Other identifying information such as age or death date
=== Search the Index ===
 
{{Search Collection Link| CID=CID2285574 }}
'''Search by Name by visiting the Collection Page :'''<br>Fill in the requested information in the boxes on the initial search page. This search will return a list of possible matches. Compare the information about the individuals 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 look at the information on several individuals comparing the information about them to your ancestors to make this determination. Keep in mind:
=== How Do I Analyze the Results? ===
*There may be more than one person in the records with the same name.
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]].
*You may not be sure of your own ancestor’s name.
== What Do I Do Next? ==
*Your ancestor may have used different names, or variations of their name, throughout their life.
=== I Found the Person I Was Looking For, What Now? ===
*If your ancestor used an alias or a nickname, be sure to check for those alternate names.
*Add any new information to your records
*Even though these indexes are very accurate they may still contain inaccuracies, such as altered spellings, misinterpretations, and optical character recognition errors if the information was scanned.
*Search for an obituary
 
*Search for a cemetery records
For tips about searching on-line collections see the on-line article [[FamilySearch Search Tips and Tricks]].
*Use the name and age to search census records
 
*Search for a probate record
==What Do I Do Next?==
*Continue to search the index and records to identify children, siblings, parents, and other relatives who may have served in the same unit or a nearby unit  
 
*When looking for a person who had a common name, look at all the entries for the name before deciding which is correct  
When you have located your ancestor’s record, carefully evaluate each piece of information given. Save a copy of the image or transcribe the information. These pieces of information may give you new biographical details. Add this new information to your records of each family. You should also look for leads to other records about your ancestors.
*You may need to compare the information of more than one family or person to make this determination  
 
*Be aware that, as with any index, transcription errors may occur
=== I Found Who I was Looking for, What Now? ===
 
*Use the name and file number to search the [https://health.data.ny.gov/Health/Genealogical-Research-Death-Index-Beginning-1957/vafa-pf2s State Department of Health] records.
*Use the age to calculate an approximate birth date.
*Use the name and age to search census and probate indexes.
*Continue to search the index and records to identify children, siblings, parents, and other relatives who may have served in the same unit or a nearby unit.
*When looking for a person who had a common name, look at all the entries for the name before deciding which is correct.
*You may need to compare the information of more than one family or person to make this determination.
*Be aware that, as with any index, transcription errors may occur.
 
=== I Can't Find Who I'm Looking for, What Now? ===
 
*Look for variant spellings of the names. You should also look for nicknames and abbreviated names.
*Search the indexes and records of nearby localities.
*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 with the same family number.
 
== Citing this Collection ==
 
When you copy information from a record, you should list where you found the information; that is, cite your sources. This will help people find the record again and evaluate the reliability of the source. It is also good to keep track of records where you did not find information, including the names of the people you looked for in the records. Citations are available for the collection as a whole and each record or image individually.
