*You may not be sure of your own ancestor’s name. | |||
*Your ancestor may have used different names, or variations of their name, throughout their life. | |||
*If your ancestor used an alias or a nickname, be sure to check for those alternate names. | |||
*Even though these indexes are very accurate they may still contain inaccuracies, such as altered spellings, misinterpretations, and optical character recognition errors if the information was scanned. | |||
