'''To browse by image:'''<br>To search this collection you will need to follow this series of links:<br> ⇒ Select the "Browse" link in the initial search page<br> ⇒ Select the appropriate "State"<br> ⇒ Select the appropriate "War, Military Unit, Surname Letter and Year Range" 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 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. Add this new information to your records of each family. You should also look for leads to other records about your ancestors.
 
For example use the soldier's name and location of the military unit to find the soldier’s family in census, church, and land records.
 
=== Tips to Keep in Mind  ===
 
*Continue to search the index and records to identify children, siblings, parents, and other relatives who may have served in the same unit or a nearby unit.
*When looking for a person who had a common name, look at all the entries for the name before deciding which is correct.
*If you are unable to find the ancestors you are looking for, check for variant spellings of the surnames.
