This section provides information on how to search the collection, what to do with information once found, some tips on how to find records, and what to do if no record is found.
*Add any new information to your records
 
*If available, check the image for additional information
'''To search by image:''' To search the collection you will need to follow this series of links:<br> ⇒Select "Browse through images" on the initial collection page <br> ⇒ Select the 'Place' <br> ⇒ Select the 'Record Type and Year' which takes you to the images.<br>

'''When searching:''' As you are searching it is helpful to know such information as the name of your ancestor and the date or place of birth. Remember that there may be more than one person in the records with the same name as your ancestor and that your ancestor may have used nicknames or different names at different times.
