+For more tips about searching on-line collections see the on-line article [[FamilySearch Search Tips and Tricks]].
 ==What Do I Do Next?==
-When you have located your ancestor’s genealogical record, carefully evaluate each piece of information about them. These pieces of information may give you new biographical details that can lead you to other records about your ancestors.
 ===I Found Who I was Looking for, What Now?===
-*Use the age at marriage or death to estimate a birth date.
+*Use the information to find other records such as birth, christening, census, land and death records.
-*When looking for a person who had a common name, look at all the entries for the name before deciding which is correct.
+*Use the information to find additional family members.
-===I Can't Find Who I'm Looking for, What Now?===
+*Repeat this process with additional family members found, to find more generations of the family.
-*Be aware that, as with any index, transcription errors may occur.
+*[[Quebec Church Records| Church Records]] often were kept years before government records were required and are a good source for finding ancestors before 1900.
-*Check for variant spellings of the names.
-*Search the records of nearby localities.
+=== I Can’t Find Who I’m Looking for, What Now? ===
+*Try viewing the original record to see if there were errors in the transcription of the name, age, residence, etc.  Remember that there may be more than one person in the records with the same name.
+*Collect entries for every person who has the same surname.  This list can help you identify possible relations that can be verified by records.
+*If you cannot locate your ancestor in the locality in which you believe they lived, then try searching records of a nearby locality in an area search.
+*Standard spelling of names typically did not exist during the periods our ancestors lived in. Try variations of your ancestor’s name, especially French versions.
+*Remember that sometimes individuals went by [http://usgenweb.org/research/nicknames.html nicknames] or alternated between using first and middle names. Try searching for [http://genealogy.about.com/od/first_names/fl/nickname-given-name-equivalents.htm these names] as well.
+*Search the indexes and records of [[Quebec, Canada Genealogy]].
+*Search in the [[Quebec Archives and Libraries]].
+*Search in the [https://familysearch.org/search/catalog/results?count=20&placeId=305&query=%2Bplace%3A%22Canada%2C%20Qu%C3%A9bec%22%20%2Bkeywords%3Amarriage FamilySearch Library Catalog]
