What Do I Do Next?

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

• Use the information to find more. For instance, use the age listed in the record to estimate a year of birth, if that is yet undetermined
• Use the birth date or age along with the place of birth of each spouse to find a couple's birth records and parents' names
• Compile the marriage entries for every person who has the same surname as the bride or groom; this is especially helpful in rural areas or if the surname is unusual

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

• When looking for an individual with a common name, look at all the search results before deciding which is the correct person. Use other information, such as place of birth, age, occupation, or names of parents, to help with this decision
• Try variations of given names and surnames. A person might have been listed under a middle name, nickname, or abbreviation of their given name
• Vary the search terms. For example, expand the date range or search by either the given name or surname to return a broader list search results
