== What Do I Do Next? ==
== 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. 
Indexes and transcriptions may not include all the data found in the original records. Look at the actual image of the record, if you can, to verify the information and to find additional information.  
===I Found Who I was Looking for, What Now?===
=== I Found Who I was Looking for, What Now? ===
*Copy the citation below, in case you need to find this record again later.
*Use the information found in the record to find other records such as emigrations, port records, and ship’s manifests.
*Use the record to learn your ancestor’s foreign and “Americanized” names, if they were different.
*Use the record to learn the place of origin and find their church and vital records such as birth, baptism, and marriage records. 
*Use the information found in the record to find land and probate records.
*Use the record to see if other family members who may have immigrated with the person you are looking for are listed and have additional information or leads; you may also find additional information on new family members in censuses.
*Repeat this process with additional family members found, to find more generations of the family.
*[[California Church Records| Church Records]] were kept years before counties began keeping records. They are a good source for finding ancestors before 1900.


=== I Can’t Find the Person I’m Looking for, What Now? ===
*If your ancestor does not have a common name, collect entries for every person who has the same surname. This list can help you find possible relatives.
*If you cannot locate your ancestor in the locality in which you believe they lived, then try searching records of a nearby town or county. 
*Try different spellings of your ancestor’s name.
*Remember that sometimes individuals went by [http://usgenweb.org/research/nicknames.html nicknames] or alternated between using first and middle names. Try searching for [http://genealogy.about.com/od/first_names/fl/nickname-given-name-equivalents.htm these names] as well. 
*Look for the Declaration of Intent soon after the immigrant arrived. Then look for the Naturalization Petition five years later, when the residency requirement would have been met. Look for naturalization records in federal courts, then in state, county, or city courts. An individual may have filed the first and final papers in different courts and sometimes in a different state if the person moved. Immigrants who were younger than 18 when they arrived did not need to file a Declaration of Intent as part of the process.
*Check other possible ports of entry
*Check the info box above for additional FamilySearch websites and related websites that may assist you in finding similar records.


*Use the information in the record to find records in his or her country of origin such as emigrations, port records, ship’s manifests, birth, christening, marriage or census records.
*Learn foreign and “Americanized” names
*Use the information in each record to find additional family members.
*Repeat this process with additional family member’s records to find more generations of the family.
*[[California Church Records|Church Records]] often were kept years before government records were required and are a good source for finding ancestors before 1900.
 
 
=== I Can’t Find Who I’m Looking for, What Now? === 
*Try viewing the original record to see if there were errors in the transcription of the name, age, residence, etc.  Remember that there may be more than one person in the records with the same name.
*Collect entries for every person who has the same surname.  This list can help you identify possible relations that can be verified by records.
*If you cannot locate your ancestor in the locality in which you believe they lived, then try searching records of a nearby locality in an area search. 
*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. 
*Remember that sometimes individuals went by [http://usgenweb.org/research/nicknames.shtml nicknames] or alternated between using first and middle names. Try searching for [http://genealogy.about.com/od/first_names/fl/nickname-given-name-equivalents.htm these names] as well. 
*Search the indexes and records of [[California, United States Genealogy]].
*Search in the [[California Archives and Libraries]].
