+=== I Found the Person I Was Looking For, What Now? ===
+*Use the information to find more. For instance, use the age listed in the record to estimate a year of birth, if that is yet undetermined
+*Use the birth date or age along with the place of birth of each spouse to find a couple's birth records and parents' names
