=== How Do I Analyze the Results? ===
'''To browse the collection by image'''
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]].
To begin your search it is helpful to know: 
== What Do I Do Next? ==
*Your ancestor’s name 
=== I Found the Person I Was Looking For, What Now? ===
*Other identifying information such as residence, birthdate or age, names of other family members, and family relationships 
*Add the new information to your records
 
*Use the information to find the person in other records
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.  
*Analyze the entry to see if if provides additional clues to find other records of the person or their family
 
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 or exact birth date
*Your ancestor may have used different names or variations of their name throughout their life 
*When looking for a person who had a common name, look at all the entries for the name before deciding which is correct 
*Remember that there may be more than one person in the records with the same name as your ancestor and that your ancestor may have used nicknames or different names at different times 
*If your ancestor used multiple names throughout their life, look for all their names
 
===I Found Who I was Looking for, What Now?===
When you have located your ancestor’s record, carefully evaluate each piece of information given. Download a copy of the record, or extract the genealogical information needed. These pieces of information may give you new biographical details. Add this new information to your records of each family. The information may also lead you to other records about your ancestors. The following examples show ways you can use the information: 
 
*Use the estimated age to calculate a birth dat. 
*Use dates to order applicable birth, marriage, and/or death records 
 
=== I Can’t Find the Person I’m Looking For, What Now? ===
=== I Can’t Find the Person I’m Looking For, What Now? ===
*Check for variant spellings of the names 
*The person may be recorded with an abbreviated or variant form of his name
*Search the records of nearby localities (or military unties, counties, parishes, etc.) 
*Try searching by surname only
*Search known family members and see if a connection can be made to the ancestor originally searched for
*Search known family members and see if a connection can be made to the ancestor originally searched for
