 === I Found the Person I Was Looking For, What Now? ===
 *Add any new information to your records
-*Use the age to find an approximate birth year to begin your search in church or civil records
+*If available, check the image for additional information
-*Continue to search the records to identify children, siblings, parents, and other relatives who may have moved, been recruited or lived nearby. This can help you identify other generations of your family. Repeat this process for each new generation you identify. Compile the entries for every person who has the same surname; this is especially helpful in rural areas or if the surname is unusual. This compiled list can help you identify possible relations that can be further verified by researching [https://familysearch.org/wiki/en/Italy_Vital_Records_Index vital records indexes] in the country
+*Analyze the entry to see if it provides additional clues to find other records of the person or their family
-*When you have located your ancestor’s 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 such as a title, an occupation, or land ownership. Add this new information to your records of each family. You should also look for leads to other records about your ancestors
+*Record entries for other people with the same surname to identify possible relationships
-*[[Italy Church Records|Church Records]] often were kept years before government records were required and are a good source for finding ancestors before 1900
+*Check civil registration to see if there is additional information recorded there

+=== I Can’t Find the Person I’m Looking For, What Now? ===
-*Switch to a different record collection. Depending on the time period, either Civil Registration records or Church Records may be more useful
+*Try searching by surname only
-*While searching, it is helpful to know such information as the ancestor’s given name and surname, some identifying information such as residence and age, and family relationships. Remember that there may be more than one person in the records with the same name as an ancestor and that the ancestor may have used nicknames or different names at different times
+*The person may be recorded with an abbreviated or variant form of their name
-*Keep in mind that there may be more than one person in the records with the same name
+*Remember that spelling was generally not standardized until the early part of the 20th century
-*Standard spelling of names typically did not exist during the periods our ancestors lived in. Try variations of your ancestor’s name while searching the index or browsing through images. Pay special attention to how the name should have been pronounced and try variations on the pronunciation
+*Check civil registration to see if the event is recorded there
