When you have located your ancestor’s employment record, carefully evaluate each piece of information given. Save a copy of the image or transcribe the information. These pieces of information may give you new biographical details about your ancestor. Add this new information to your records of each family. You should also look for leads to other records about your ancestors.

*Add any new information to your records
*Compile a list of other personnel with the same surname. This is especially helpful if the surname is unusual
*If available, check the image for additional information
*When looking for a person who had a common name, look at all the entries for the name before deciding which is correct
*Analyze the entry to see if it provides additional clues to find other records of the person or their family
 
=== I Can't Find the Person I'm Looking For, What Now? ===

*Look for variant spellings of the names. You should also look for nicknames and abbreviated names
*Try searching by surname only
*Look for another index. Local genealogical and historical societies often have indexes to local records
*The person may be recorded with an abbreviated or variant form of their name
*Search the indexes and records of nearby counties
*Remember that spelling was generally not standardized until the early part of the 20th century
*Try alternative search methods such as only filling in the surname search box (or the given name search box) on the landing page leaving the other box empty and then click on search. This should return a list of everyone with that particular name. You could then browse the list for individuals that may be your ancestor
