Before searching this collection, it is helpful to know:
 
*Name of the person
'''Search by Name by visiting the [https://familysearch.org/search/collection/2299398?collectionNameFilter=false Collection Page]:'''<br>Fill in your ancestor’s name in the initial search page. This search will return a list of possible matches.

== What Do I Do Next? ==
=== 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]].
When you have located your ancestor on a manifest 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.  
== What Do I Do Next? ==
 
Indexes and transcriptions may not include all the data found in the original records. Look at the actual image of the record, if you can, to verify the information and to find additional information.  
=== I Found Who I was Looking for, What Now? ===
=== I Found the Person I Was Looking For, What Now? ===
Use passenger lists to:
*Add any new information to your records
 
*Use the information found in the record to find other records such as emigrations, port records, and ship’s manifests
*Learn an immigrant’s place of origin
*Use the record to learn your ancestor’s foreign and “Americanized” names, if they were different
*Confirm their date of arrival
*Use the record to learn the place of origin and find their church and vital records such as birth, baptism, and marriage records
*Learn foreign and “Americanized” names
*Use the information found in the record to find land and probate records
*Find records in his or her country of origin such as emigrations, port records, or ship’s manifests.
*Use the record to see if other family members who may have immigrated with the person you are looking for are listed and have additional information or leads; you may also find additional information on new family members in censuses
*If your ancestor had a common name, be sure to look at all the entries for a name before you decide which is correct.
*Repeat this process with additional family members found, to find more generations of the family
*Continue to search the passenger lists to identify siblings, parents, and other relatives in the same or other generations who may have immigrated at the same time.
=== I Can’t Find the Person I’m Looking For, What Now? ===
*If your ancestor has an uncommon surname, you may want to obtain the passenger list of every person who shares your ancestor’s surname if they lived in the same county or nearby. You may not know how or if they are related, but the information could lead you to more information about your own ancestors.
*If your ancestor does not have a common name, collect entries for every person who has the same surname. This list can help you find possible relatives
 
*If you cannot locate your ancestor in the locality in which you believe they lived, then try searching records of a nearby town or county
===I Can't Find Who I'm Looking for, What Now? ===
*Try different 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. Try searching for [http://genealogy.about.com/od/first_names/fl/nickname-given-name-equivalents.htm these names] as well
*Look for variant spellings of the names. You should also look for alias names, nicknames and abbreviated names.  
*Look for the Declaration of Intent soon after the immigrant arrived. Then look for the Naturalization Petition five years later, when the residency requirement would have been met. Look for naturalization records in federal courts, 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
*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.  
*Check other possible ports of entry
*Search the indexes and records of nearby localities.
=== Research Helps ===
*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.
