==== Using the Information  ====


When you have located your ancestor’s record, carefully evaluate each piece of information given. These pieces of information may give you new biographical details and lead you to other records about your ancestors. Add this new information to your records of each family. For example, you can use these lists to:

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]].


*Learn an immigrant’s place of origin
== What Do I Do Next? ==
*Confirm their date of arrival
=== I Found the Person I Was Looking For, What Now? ===
*Add any new information to your records
*Use the information to find other records such as emigrations, port records, and ship’s manifest
*Look for the Declaration of Intent soon after the immigrant arrived, and then look for the Naturalization Petition five years later, when the residency requirement would have been met. Look for naturalization records in federal courts and 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

*Learn the place of origin and find vital records such as birth, baptism, marriage, and death
*Find federal immigration records
*Search for military, land and probate records
 
*Use the information to find additional family members in census records
==== Tips to Keep in Mind  ====
*Search for church records
 
*Download a copy of the record or transcribe the details.
*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 lists to identify siblings, parents, and other relatives 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. You may not know how or if they are related, but the information could lead you to more information about your own ancestors.
*If you do not find the name you are looking for check for variant spellings of their names.
*Please note that when you select an image to view, sometimes the manifest includes more than one page, and when you use the "click to enlarge manifest" link, the image that appears is not always the first page of the record. You may need to click on the "previous" or "next" links to view the remaining pages of the full manifest. .


==== Unable to Find Your Ancestor? ====
=== I Can’t Find the Person I’m Looking For, What Now? ===
*Try viewing the original record. Indexes and transcriptions may not include all the data found in the original records. Remember that there may be more than one person in the records with the same name
*If your ancestor does not have a common name, collect entries for every person who has the same surname. This list can help you identify possible relatives that can be verified by records
*If you cannot locate your ancestor in the locality in which you believe they lived, then try searching records of a nearby locality in an area search 
*Try variant spellings of your ancestor’s name
*Remember that sometimes individuals went by [http://usgenweb.org/research/nicknames.html nicknames] or alternated between using first and middle names


*Look for variant spellings of the names. You should also look for nicknames and abbreviated names.
=== Research Helps ===
*Search the indexes and records of other localities.
The following articles will help you research your family in the state of [[Maryland, United States Genealogy|Maryland]].
*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 that may be your ancestor.
