== How Do I Search the Collection? ==
=== 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]].
To begin your search it is helpful to know:
 
*Your ancestor’s name.
*Other identifying information such as residence, birth date, names of other family members and family relationships
 
To search the collection by name fill in your ancestor’s name in the initial search page. This search will return a list of possible matches. Compare the information about those in the list to what you already know about your own ancestors to determine if this is the correct family or person.
 
If you did not find the person you were looking for, you may need to search the collection by image. <br> ⇒Select "Browse through images" on the initial collection page <br> ⇒Select the appropriate "Book Title" <br> ⇒Select the appropriate "_____________" <br> ⇒Select the appropriate "_____________" which takes you to the images.
 
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.
 
With either search 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.
