== Collection Content ==

 

 

== How Do I Search the Collection? ==

 

This section provides information on how to search the collection, what to do with information once found, and some tips on how to find your ancestor in the records.

 

As you are searching, it is helpful to know such information as your ancestor's given name and surname, some identifying information such as residence and family relationships.

 

Fill in the requested information in the initial search page. This search will return a list of possible matches. Compare the information about the ancestors 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 compare the information about more than one person to find your ancestor.

 

 

*Use the head of household name to connect to other ancestors.

*Use the parish to look for baptism, marriage and death records.

*Use the residence to search for civil or land records in the area.

 

== Tips to Keep in Mind ==

 

*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 there may be more than one person in the records with the same name as your ancestor and that your ancestor may have used nicknames or different names at different times.

*Titles may be clues to property ownership, occupations, rank, or status within the community.

*Continue to search the index and records to identify children, siblings, parents, and other relatives who may have lived in the same area.

*Check for variant spellings of the names.
