== How Do I Search This Collection?  ==
Before searching this collection, it is helpful to know:
*The name of your ancestor
*The birth date and birth place of your ancestor
*The death date and death place of your ancestor
=== Search the Index ===
{{Search Collection Link
| CID=CID2127918
}}
=== 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 [[Use_Appropriate_Forms#Prepare_a_Research_Log |research log]].
== What Do I Do Next?==
=== I Found the Person I Was Looking For, What Now? ===
*Add any new information to your records
*Use the age and the estimated birth year to calculate an approximate birth date
*Use the date and place of death to find the family in census records
*Not each record contains the same data. For example, some records may be missing the place of death, age, or date of place
=== 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
*Look for another index. Local genealogical and historical societies often have indexes to local records
*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. This should return a list of everyone with that particular name. You could then browse the list for individuals that may be your ancestor

== Citing This Collection  ==
When you copy information from a record, you should list where you found the information. This will help you or others to find the record again. It is also good to keep track of records where you did not find information, including the names of the people you looked for in the records.
Citations help you keep track of places you have searched and sources you have found. Identifying your sources helps others find the records you used.
A suggested format for keeping track of records that you have searched is found in the wiki article [[Help:How to Cite FamilySearch Collections]].
