Church records are an excellent source for validating the vital events in someone’s life and are also the best source of individual information. Use the index to link to your ancestor in the church record. Keep in mind that as with any index, transcription errors may occur. | |||
'''Beginning Your Search''' | |||
To begin your search, it would be helpful if you knew the following information: | |||
*Name of ancestor | |||
*Place of residence | |||
*Religion | |||
'''Searching the Index''' | |||
Fill in the requested information in the initial search page. This search will return a list of possible matches. Compare the information about the ancestors in the list to what you already know about your ancestors to determine if this is the correct family or person. You may need to compare the information about more than one person to find your ancestor. | |||
