Evaluate what you have already checked. This is a lot easier if you have documented your sources during your research activities. Keep a good research log.&nbsp; List your search objectives i.e. "Find the marriage license application of Magnus Swansson to try and find place of birth in Sweden."&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;List the types of record searched, the time period the record covers AND&nbsp;the time periods searched in that record, which may be very different from the time span it covers&nbsp;as a whole&nbsp;.&nbsp; Note any anomalies in the record such as, "pages 10-13 unreadable - ink spilled," or "edges of index pages burned off," "male indexed only," and so forth.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>
