-Look at each image comparing the information with what you already know about your ancestors to determine if the image relates to them. You may need to look at several images and compare the information about the individuals listed in those images to your ancestors to make this determination. Keep in mind:
+=== I Found the Person I Was Looking For, What Now? ===
-*There may be more than one person in the records with the same name.
-*You may not be sure of your own ancestor’s name.
-*Your ancestor may have used different names or variations of their name throughout their life.
-=== I Found Who I was Looking for, What Now? ===

These pieces of information may give you new biographical details. Add this new information to your records of each family. You should also look for leads to other records about your ancestors.
