How Do I Analyze the Results?

Compare each result from your search with what you know to determine if there is a match. This may require viewing multiple records or images. Keep track of your research in a research log.

What Do I Do Next?

Whenever possible, look at the original record. It often has more information than the indexed record.

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

• Use the information to find other records such as birth, christening, land and death records
• Search the family in census records

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

• Remember that there may be more than one person in the records with the same name
• Collect entries for every person who has the same surname. This list can help you identify possible relationships that can be verified by records
• If you cannot locate your ancestor in the locality in which you believe they lived, try searching records of a nearby locality
• 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
• Remember that sometimes individuals went by nicknames or alternated between using first and middle names
