=== How Do I Analyze the Results? ===
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? ==
Indexes and transcriptions may not include all the data found in the original records. Look at the actual image of the record, if you can, to verify the information and to find additional information.
=== I Found the Person I was Looking For, What Now? ===
*Add any new information to your records
*Use the information found in the record to find other records such port records, and ship’s manifests
*Use the record to learn the place of origin and find vital records such as birth, baptism, and marriage records 
*Use the information found in the record to find land and probate records
*Use the record to see if other family members may have immigrated with the person you are looking for are listed and have additional information
*Search census records for additional information on family members
*Look for the Declaration of Intent soon after the immigrant arrived. Then look for the Naturalization Petition five years later, when the residency requirement would have been met. Look for naturalization records in federal courts, then in state, county, or city courts. An individual may have filed the first and final papers in different courts and sometimes in a different state if the person moved. Immigrants who were younger than 18 when they arrived did not need to file a Declaration of Intent as part of the process
