== How to Use the Record  ==
== How Do I Search This Collection? ==
 
Before searching this collection, it is helpful to know:
To begin your search it is helpful to know the full name along with some identifying information such as birth date, birth place, residence, or approximate dates of employment.
*The full name of your ancestor
 
*The birth date and birth place of your ancestor
==== Search the Collection  ====
*The residence of your ancestor
 
*The approximate dates of employment
To search the collection by name fill in your ancestor’s name in the initial search page. This search will return a list of possible matches. Compare the information about those in the list to what you already know about your own ancestors to determine if this is the correct family or person.
=== Search the Index ===
 
{{Search Collection Link | CID = CID2193241 }}
If you did not find the person you were looking for, you may need to search the collection by image. <br>
=== View the Images ===  
⇒Select "Browse through images" on the initial collection page <br>
{{View_Images_Link
⇒Select the appropriate  "Record Description" which takes you to the images.
| CID = 2193241
 
| browse_1 = Record Description
Look at each 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.  
| browse_2 =  
 
| browse_3 =
With either search keep in mind:
| browse_4 =
*There may be more than one person in the records with the same name.
| browse_5 =
*You may not be sure of your own ancestor’s name.
| browse_6 =
*Your ancestor may have used different names or variations of their name throughout their life.
}}
 
=== How Do I Analyze the Results? ===
For tips about searching on-line collections see the on-line article [[FamilySearch Search Tips and Tricks]].
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? ==
==== Using the Information  ====
=== I Found the Person I Was Looking For, What Now? ===  
 
*Add any new information to your records
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 about your ancestor. Add this new information to your records of each family. You should also look for leads to other records about your ancestors.
*If available, check the image for additional information
 
*Analyze the entry to see if it provides additional clues to find other records of the person or their family
The following suggestions may help you in your search:
=== I Can't Find the Person I'm Looking For, What Now? ===
 
*Try searching by surname only
*Compile a list of other personnel with the same surname. This is especially helpful if the surname is unusual.
*The person may be recorded with an abbreviated or variant form of their name
*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 spelling was generally not standardized until the early part of the 20th century
*If you are having difficulty locating your ancestor, look for variant spellings of the surnames. You should also look for abbreviated names and nicknames.
