While the information on the Population Cards is in English, the names of the individuals are mostly of Spanish origin. Sex is usually represented by a gender symbol, rather than stating male or female. The original records are located in the Richard Flores Taitano Micronesia Area Research Center at the University of Guam in Mangilao.

=== Research Helps ===
 
*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 or exact birth date.
*Your ancestor may have used different names or variations of their name throughout their life. 
*When looking for a person who had a common name, look at all the entries for the name before deciding which is correct. 
*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. 
*If your ancestor used multiple names throughout their life, look for all their names.  
 
===I Found Who I was Looking for, What Now?===
When you have located your ancestor’s record, carefully evaluate each piece of information given. Download a copy of the record, or extract the genealogical information needed. These pieces of information may give you new biographical details. Add this new information to your records of each family. The information may also lead you to other records about your ancestors. The following examples show ways you can use the information: 
 
*Use the estimated age to calculate a birth date. 
*Use dates to order applicable birth, marriage, and/or death records. 
 
===I Can't Find Who I'm Looking for, What Now?===
*Check for variant spellings of the names. 
*Search the records of nearby localities (or military unties, counties, parishes, etc.). 
*Search known family members and see if a connection can be made to the ancestor originally searched for.
