=== How Do I Analyze the Results? ===
Fill in the requested information in the boxes on the initial search page.
Compare each result from your search with what you know to determine if there is a match. This may require viewing multiple records or images. Keep track of your research in a [[Use_Appropriate_Forms#Prepare_a_Research_Log | research log]].<br>
This search will return a list of possible matches. Compare the information about the individuals 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 look at the information on several individuals comparing the information about them to your ancestors to make this determination.
 
Keep in mind:
*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.
*If your ancestor used an alias or a nickname, be sure to check for those alternate names.  
*Even though these indexes are very accurate they may still contain inaccuracies, such as altered spellings, and misinterpretations.
