Q. What are we searching for? Birth? Marriage? Residence? It doesn’t indicate what the preferred event is. <br> A. Most of the time the search query will not specify an event. It will simply say, “Pref’d Event Date” or “Pref’d Event Place.” In these cases, the search is for any recorded events. There will be times though that the search will be for a specific event. In these cases, the query will state something like “Pref’d Birth Place” or “Pref’d Birth Date.” Change your opinions/answers based on this additional information. | Q. What are we searching for?

Q. What type of record did the search result come from? My opinion of the quality of the result would change if I knew what record type was being referenced. <br> A. We don’t have this information for the evaluation survey. Consider yourself in the position of a new researcher entering the search query and not knowing that one record type should be more reliable than another. You may not know that a marriage record usually has more accurate information than a census. However, some of you are more advanced researchers and you may be able to determine from the information provided (and not provided) in the search result what record type is being referenced. [For example, if the principal’s spouse is listed, I can assume I’m not looking at a birth certificate for the principal.] Feel free to use your knowledge and previous experience to help justify your final opinion. | Q.
