 == How to Use the Records  ==
-'''Searching the Images'''
+To search the collection, select "Browse through images" on the initial collection page ⇒ Select the Year Range ⇒ Select the Record Type ⇒ Select the Alphabetical Sequence which takes you to the images.
-Records are organized in the following hierarchy for this collection: Year Range &gt; Record Type &gt; Alphabetical Sequence. The “Alphabetical Sequence” is the first letter(s) of the place(s) where the records were made. Accordingly, records for a place can only be searched after locating the place by searching each level of this hierarchy.
+Look at the images one by one comparing the information with what you already know about your ancestors to determine which one is your ancestor. You may need to compare the information about more than one person to make this determination.
-Compare the information in the record to what you already know about your ancestors to determine if this is the correct person. You may need to compare the information of more than one person to make this determination.
 When you have located your ancestor’s in the records, carefully evaluate each piece of information given. These pieces of information may give you new biographical details that can lead you to other records about your ancestors. Add this new information to your records of each family.
