+Fill in the requested information in the initial search page. This search will return a list of possible ancestors. Compare the information in the list to what you already know about your ancestor to determine which individual is your ancestor.

+*Use the date and place of death to find the family in census records.
+=== Tips to Keep in Mind  ===
