When you have located your ancestor’s record, carefully evaluate each piece of information given.

*Request federal immigration record  
*Request federal immigration record

*Confirm their date of arrival  
*Learn foreign and “Americanized” names
*Find records in his or her country of origin such as emigrations, port records, or ship’s manifests.
==== Tips to Keep in Mind  ====
*If your ancestor had a common name, be sure to look at all the entries for a name before you decide which is correct.
*Continue to search the passenger lists to identify siblings, parents, and other relatives in the same or other generations who may have immigrated at the same time.
*If your ancestor has an uncommon surname, you may want to obtain the passenger list of every person who shares your ancestor’s surname if they lived in the same county or nearby. You may not know how or if they are related, but the information could lead you to more information about your own ancestors.
==== Unable to Find Your Ancestor?  ====
*Check for variant spellings of the name.
*Search the indexes of other port cities.
