== What Do I Do Next? ==
== What Do I Do Next? ==
=== I Found the Person I Was Looking For, What Now? ===  
=== I Found the Person I Was Looking For, What Now? ===
 
*Add any new information to your records
*Use the name and death information to search for a death record
*If available, check the image for additional information
*Use the name and death information to obtain the individual's military records from the federal government
*Analyze the entry to see if it provides additional clues to find other records of the person or their family
*The name of the undertaker or mortuary could lead you to funeral records which often include the names and residences of other family members
*Record entries for other people with the same surname to identify possible relationships
*Compile the entries for every person who has the same surname; this is especially helpful in rural areas or if the surname is unusual
=== I Can’t Find the Person I’m Looking For, What Now? ===
*Continue to search the records to identify children, siblings, parents, and other relatives of the deceased who may have been buried in the same cemetery or nearby. This can help you identify other generations of your family. Repeat this process for each new generation you identify
*The person may be recorded with an abbreviated or variant form of their name
 
*Try searching by surname only
=== I Can't Find the Person I'm Looking For, What Now? ===
*Remember that spelling was generally not standardized until the early part of the 20th century
*Look for variant spellings of the names. You should also look for nicknames and abbreviated names
=== Research Helps ===
*Look for another index. Local genealogical and historical societies often have indexes to local records
The following articles will help you research your family in [[United States Genealogy|the United States]].
*Search the indexes and records of nearby counties
*[[GuidedResearch:United States]]
*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
