 Fill in the requested information in the initial search page to return a list of possible matches. Compare the individuals on the list with what is already known to find the correct family or person. This step may require examining multiple individuals before a match is located.

-*When looking for a person who had a common name, look at all the entries for the name before deciding which is correct.
+*Make sure to fully transcribe and cite the record entry for future reference; see below for assistance in citing this collection. Save or print a copy of the image if possible.
-*Titles may be clues to property ownership, occupations, rank, or status within the community.
+*Use the information which has been discovered to find more. For instance, use the age listed in the record to estimate a year of birth, if that is yet undetermined.
-*Continue to search the index and records to identify children, siblings, parents, and other relatives.
+*Use the information which has been discovered to find the individual in other records. Particularly useful for research in nineteenth-century England are the [[England Census]], [[England, Yorkshire Parish Registers (FamilySearch Historical Records)|parish registers]] and [[England Civil Registration|civil registration]] records.
-*Be aware that, as with any index, transcription errors may occur.
+*Continue to search the collection to identify children, siblings, parents, and other relatives.
-==What if I Can't Find Who I'm Looking For?==
+=== I Can’t Find the Person I’m Looking for, What Now? ===
+*When looking for a person with a common name, look at all the entries for the name before deciding which individual is correct. Use other information, such as place of birth, age, occupation, or names of parents, to determine which candidate is the correct person. If listed, a personal title may be a clue to property ownership or occupation, either of which might be noted in other records.
-*Check for variant spellings of the names.
+*Check for variants of given names and surnames. For much of the period of this collection, spelling was not standardized; pay special attention to how the name should have been pronounced and try variations on the pronunciation. Simple clerical errors were also always possible. Furthermore, individuals were often listed under a middle name, [http://genealogy.about.com/od/first_names/fl/nickname-given-name-equivalents.htm nickname], or [[Abbreviations Found in Genealogy Records|abbreviation]] of their given name. For women, remember that it was not uncommon to revert to a maiden name after the death of a husband.
-*Search the records of nearby parishes (Brampton, Deighton, High Worsall, Kirby Sigston, Northallerton and West Rounton).
+*Vary the search terms. For example, search by either the given name or surname to return broader list of possible candidates which can then be examined for matches. Alternatively, try expanding the date range.
+*Search the records of nearby parishes. While it was uncommon for an individual in this period to move more than about 20 miles from their place of birth, smaller relocations were not uncommon.

 == Citing this Collection ==
+Citing sources correctly makes it easier to refer back to information that has already been discovered; proper citations are therefore indispensable to keeping track of genealogical research. Following established formulae in formatting citations also allows others to verify completed research by helping them find and examine records for themselves.
-Citing your sources makes it easy for others to find and evaluate the records you used. When you copy information from a record, list where you found that information. Here you can find citations already created for the entire collection and for each individual record or image.
+To be of use, citations must include information such as the author, custodian, publisher, and archive for the original records, if available. The following examples demonstrate how to present this information for both this particular collection as well as individual images within the collection:
