__TOC__


:#In column 1, select a research goal.  
== Record Finder Table for [STATE] ==
:#In column 2, view (click) the types of records most likely to have the information you need.  
The following Record Finder table assists researchers in determining record types that may list the information they are looking for.  
:#In column 3, find additional types of records that may be useful.  
=== Order of Records ===
:#If you do not find the desired information, see [[Texas Research Tips and Strategies|Texas Search Strategies]] for more suggestions.
The typically most reliable sources are listed at the top of the list. However, depending on the time period of the record and location, multiple records in the list may need to be searched to achieve the objective. Alternative records are listed as well in case traditional records do not provide the desired information.


{{Note|Records of previous research (Genealogy, Biography, History, Periodicals, and Societies) are useful for most goals, but are not listed unless they are especially helpful.}}
== List of Topics ==
This Record Finder table links to the [STATE] topic Wiki pages, containing databases and other information about accessing the records.
