To begin your search you should know the following:
Some record sets have indexes; these indexes were created at the end of the year. Copy errors could have been made in the index, so you want to find the actual record to verify the information is correct. Using the index is a helpful way to find the actual record.
*The person’s name.
*The approximate location of an event.
*An approximate time frame of an event.
*Indexes are available on some of these groups of images. If indexes are available, check these for the name first. Indexes are usually located at the beginning or end of a group of images. Find your ancestor’s name and look for the locator information next to the name (such as page, entry, or certificate number). This will help you find the record you are looking for in the collection.

Keep in mind:
The information in records is usually reliable, but depends upon the knowledge of the informant.
*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.
Regarding marriage and death records, name changes, shortened names, or nicknames may have been used by your ancestors, so pay attention to other relationships (parents, spouse, siblings, children, etc.) that can confirm whether you have the right person/record.

Continue to search the marriage records to identify children, siblings, parents, and other relatives of the bride and groom who may have married in the same county or nearby. This can help you identify other generations of your family or even the second marriage of a parent. Repeat this process for each new generation you identify.

Look at the images and compare the information with what you already know about your ancestors to determine which one is your ancestor. You may need to compare the information about more than one person to make this determination.
Look at the image and compare 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.
 
====Using the Information====
*Use the marriage date and place as the basis for compiling a new family group or for verifying existing information.
*Use the birth date or age along with the place of birth of each partner to find a couple's birth records and parents' names.
*Use the birth date or age along with the place of birth to find the family in census records.
*Use the residence and names of the parents to locate church and land records.
*Use the parents' birth places to find former residences and to establish a migration pattern for the family.
*The name of a marriage officiator is a clue to their religion or area of residence in the county. However, ministers may have reported marriages performed in other counties.
*Compile the marriage entries for every person who has the same surname as the bride or groom; this is especially helpful in rural areas or if the surname is unusual.
*Continue to search the marriage records to identify children, siblings, parents, and other relatives of the bride and groom who may have married in the same county or nearby. This can help you identify other generations of your family or even the second marriage of a parent. Repeat this process for each new generation you identify.
*Use the marital status/marriage number (how many times a person was married) to identify previous marriages.
*When looking for a person who had a common name, look at all the entries for the name before deciding which is correct.
*Witnesses often were relatives of the parents.
* Continue to search the indexes and records to identify children, siblings, parents, and other relatives who may have lived in the same area or a nearby area.


=== Unable to Find Your Ancestor? ===
'''When searching:'''
 
As you are searching it is helpful to know such information as your ancestor's given name and surname, some identifying information such as residence, age, and family relationships. 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.  
A boundary change could have occurred and the record of you ancestor is now in a neighboring state or region, or your ancestor immigrated to another country. Search the records of nearby areas or immigration/emigration records.
