== How Do I Search This Collection? ==

To begin your search you will need to know:  

=== How Do I Analyze the Results? ===  

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]].

== What Do I Do Next? ==

=== I Found the Person I Was Looking For, What Now? ===  

*Use the name and death information to search for a death record  

*Use the name and death information to obtain the individual's military records from the federal government

*Compile the entries for every person who has the same surname; this is especially helpful in rural areas or if the surname is unusual  

*Continue to search the records to identify children, siblings, parents, and other relatives of the deceased who may have been buried in the same cemetery or nearby. This can help you identify other generations of your family. Repeat this process for each new generation you identify

=== I Can't Find the Person I'm Looking For, What Now? ===

*Look for variant spellings of the names. You should also look for nicknames and abbreviated names

*Search the indexes and records of nearby counties

*Try alternative search methods such as only filling in the surname search box (or the given name search box) on the landing page leaving the other box empty and then click on search. This should return a list of everyone with that particular name. You could then browse the list for individuals that may be your ancestor
