To begin your search it is helpful to know at least some of the following:  
== How Do I Search the Collection? ==
*The name of your ancestor.
You can search the index or view the images or both. Before searching this collection, it is helpful to know:
*The age of your ancestor.
*Name of the person
*The approximate date of death.
*The location or date of the event
*The names of relatives and associates.


Fill in the requested information in the initial search page. This search will return a list of possible matches. Compare the information in the list to what you already know about your ancestor to determine if it is the correct person. You may need to compare several persons in the list before you find your ancestor. 
=== Search the Index ===

*In case you need to find this record again later, copy the citation below in the [[#Citing This Collection|Citing This Collection]] section. It's always a good idea to keep your citation on a Research Log.  This is an important tool to help keep track of what you have and have not found.  Family search wiki has a  [https://s3.amazonaws.com/ps-services-us-east-1-914248642252/s3/research-wiki-elasticsearch-prod-s3bucket/images/5/50/Research_Log.pdf Example Research Log] that you can download and use.
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.
*Use the age or estimated birth date to find county or [[Arkansas Vital Records]] such as birth, baptism, marriage, and death records.
*Use the information found in the record to find additional family members in the [[United States Census, 1870 (FamilySearch Historical Records)]] or the [[United States Census, 1900 (FamilySearch Historical Records)]] or the [[United States Census, 1920 (FamilySearch Historical Records)]] or the [[United States Census, 1940 (FamilySearch Historical Records)]].  Search the state censuses as well.
*Use the information found in the record to find [[United States, Internal Revenue Assessment Lists (FamilySearch Historical Records)]].
*Use the information found in the record to find [[United States, Bureau of Land Management Tract Books (FamilySearch Historical Records)]].
*Search for death or burial information in [https://familysearch.org/search/collection/2026973 BillionGraves Index] or at [https://www.findagrave.com/ Find A Grave].
*If applicable, search for immigration and naturalization records as well.
*Repeat this process with additional family members found, to find more generations of the family.  


=== I Found Who I Was Looking For, What Now? ===
=== 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 a nearby locality.
*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. 
*Check the infobox above for additional FamilySearch websites and related websites that may assist you in finding similar records.


*Use the information to obtain the actual death certificate.
*Use the information to find other records such as birth, christening, marriage, census, land and probate records.
*Use the information to find additional family members.
*Repeat this process with additional family members found, to find more generations of the family.
*[[Arkansas 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 [[Arkansas, United States Genealogy]].
*Search in the [[Arkansas Archives and Libraries]].
