For death records, the information in records is usually reliable, but depends upon the knowledge of the informant.
See the sections below for tips and uses for searching and finding the record of your ancestor in this collection and using the information in the record.
 
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.


Naturalization records are good for tracing your ancestors origins, i.e., where they moved from and when.
If you are unable to find a record for your ancestor in this collection, see the corresponding section below.
 
Election and land records are used to trace your ancestors' migration, i.e., where they lived throughout their life, their economic situation, and their civil status.
