There are, however, times when you cannot find your ancestor in these large indexes. Perhaps, a mistake was made when these large indexes were made, or a person's name was not easy to recognize in the census enumeration book, or the surname was spelled differently. In such a situation, you may be able to find your ancestor in the census by using a smaller surname index for the parish or town of interest. When looking at a smaller index, it can be easier to pick out an alternative spelling of a person's surname. These indexes are also ideal for finding all of the people with a specific surname in a specific location. | There are, however, times when you cannot find your ancestor in these large indexes.

The Family History Library (Salt Lake City, Utah, USA) has a large and growing collection of these smaller indexes. | Many of these are available, in book, CD, microfilm and microfiche form.
