What Do I Do Next?

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

  • Use the information found in the record to find land and probate records
  • Use the information found in the record to find additional family members in census records

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

  • Search the indexes and records of nearby counties
  • 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.
