=== Search the Collection  ===
 
'''To browse by image:'''<br>To search the collection you will need to follow this series of links:<br>⇒Select the "Browse" link in the initial search page<br>⇒Select the "Record Category" <br>⇒Select the "Record Type, Volume, and Year Range" category which takes you to the images.<br>
 
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. Keep in mind:
 
*There may be more than one person in the records with the same name.
*You may not be sure of your own ancestor’s name.
*Your ancestor may have used different names or variations of their name throughout their life.
 
=== Using the Information  ===
 
When you have located your ancestor’s death record, carefully evaluate each piece of information given. These pieces of information may give you new biographical details that can lead you to other records about your ancestors. Add this new information to your records of each family. For example:
 
*Use the birth date or age along with the place of birth to find or verify their birth records and parents' names.
*Use the birth date or age along with the place of birth to find the family in census records.
*Use the residence and names of the parents (if the deceased is a child) to locate church and land records.
*Use the parents' birth places to find former residences and to establish a migration pattern for the family.
 
=== Tips to Keep in Mind  ===
 
*Occupations listed can lead you to other types of records such as employment records or military records.
*The name of the officiator is a clue to their religion or area of residence in the county.
*The name of the undertaker or mortuary could lead you to funeral and cemetery records, which often include the names and residences of other family members.
*Compile the entries for every person who has the same surname; this is especially helpful in rural areas or if the surname is unusual.
*Continue to search the records to identify children, siblings, parents, and other relatives of the deceased who may have died or been buried in the same county or nearby. This can help you identify other generations of your family or even the second marriage of a parent. Repeat this process for each new generation you identify.
*When looking for a person who had a common name, look at all the entries for the name before deciding which is correct.
*The information in these records is usually reliable, but depends upon the reliability of the informant.
*Earlier records may not contain as much information as the records created after the late 1800s.
*There is also some variation in the information given from one record to another record.
 
=== Unable to Find Your Ancestor?  ===
 
*Look for variant spellings of the names. You should also look for alias names, nicknames and abbreviated names.
*Look for an index. There are often indexes at the beginning of each volume. Local genealogical and historical societies often have indexes to local records.
*Search the indexes and records of nearby localities.
