== How Do I Search This Collection? == | |||
Before searching this collection, it is helpful to know: | |||
*Your ancestor's name | |||
*Town or province of residence | |||
*Age or birth date | |||
*Names of family members | |||
=== Search the Index === | |||

=== 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]]. | |||
== What Do I Do Next? == | |||
Whenever possible, view the original records to verify the information and to find additional information that might not be reported. These pieces of information can lead you to additional records and family members. | |||
=== I Found the Person I Was Looking For, What Now? === | |||
*Use the information to find your ancestors in censuses. These can help you find additional family members | |||
*Use the age in the record to find an approximate birth year, which will help you find a birth or death record. Sometimes a person is buried in a city or town in which they did not die so it is not always accurate to assume that a burial place is the same as a death place | |||
*Repeat this process with additional family members found to find more generations of the family | |||
=== I Can’t Find the Person I’m Looking For, What Now? === | |||
*Consult the [[Germany Record Finder]] to find other records | |||
*Switch to a different record collection. Depending on the time period, either German Civil Registration records or German Church records may be more useful | |||
*While searching, it is helpful to know such information as the ancestor’s given name and surname, some identifying information such as residence and age, and family relationships. Remember that there may be more than one person in the records with the same name as an ancestor and that the ancestor may have used nicknames or different names at different times | |||
*Keep in mind that there may be more than one person in the records with the same name | |||
*Standard spelling of names typically did not exist during the periods our ancestors lived in. Try variations of your ancestor’s name while searching the index or browsing through images. Pay special attention to how the name should have been pronounced and try variations on the pronunciation | |||
*Search the indexes and records of [[Germany Societies|local genealogical societies]] | |||
