== How Do I Search This Collection? ==
Before searching this collection, it is helpful to know:
*The full name of your ancestor
*The age or birth date of your ancestor
*The approximate date of immigration
*The port of arrival or departure
If you do not know this information, check the census records after 1900.

=== 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? ==
Indexes and transcriptions may not include all the data found in the original records. Look at the actual image of the record, if you can, to verify the information and to find additional information.
=== I Found the Person I Was Looking For, What Now? ===
*Add any new information to your records
*Search for naturalization records
*Search for military records
*Use the information found in the record to find additional family members in census records
*Search for vital records, such as birth, marriage, and death
=== I Can’t Find the Person I’m Looking For, What Now? ===
*If your ancestor does not have a common name, collect entries for every person who has the same surname. This list can help you find possible relatives
*If you cannot locate your ancestor in the locality in which you believe they lived, then try searching other possible localities or ports of entry
*Try different spellings of your ancestor’s name
*Remember that sometimes individuals went by [http://usgenweb.org/research/nicknames.html nicknames] or alternated between using first and middle names
*Look for the Declaration of Intent soon after the immigrant arrived. Then look for the naturalization petition five years later, when the residency requirement would have been met. Look for naturalization records in federal courts, then in state, county, or city courts. An individual may have filed the first and final papers in different courts and sometimes in a different state if the person moved. Immigrants who were younger than 18 when they arrived did not need to file a Declaration of Intent as part of the process

'''When searching:'''<br>
As you are searching, it is helpful to know such information as your ancestor's given name and surname, some identifying information such as residence, age, estimated [event] year, and family relationships.
 
===Search the Collection===
Include the following paragraph for collections searchable by index.
'''To search by index:'''<br>
Fill in the requested information in the initial search page. This search will return a list of possible matches. Compare the information about the ancestors in the list to what you already know about your ancestors to determine if this is the correct family or person. You may need to compare the information about more than one person to find your ancestor.
 
Include the following paragraph for collections with images available for browsing.
'''To browse by image:'''<br>
To search the collection you will need to follow this series of links:<br>
⇒Select "Browse through images" on the initial collection page <br>
⇒Select the "…" category<br>
⇒Select the “…" category which takes you to the images<br>
 
⇒ Select the 'NARA Roll Number' category which takes you to the images.<br>
 
Search the collection by image comparing the information with what you already know about your ancestors to determine if the image relates to them. You may need to look at several images and compare the information about the individuals listed in those images to your ancestors to make this determination.
 
 
Include the following four sections when appropriate.
 
===Using the Information===
Examples of what to put in this section:
*Use the estimated age to calculate a birth date.
*Use the soldier's age and location of the military unit to find his family in census, church, and land records.
*Use the county code and the certificate number to obtain a copy of the original death certificate from the county.
 
=== Tips to Keep in Mind ===
Examples of what to put in this section:
*When looking for a person who had a common name, look at all the entries for the name before deciding which is correct.
*Remember that there may be more than one person in the records with the same name as your ancestor and that your ancestor may have used nicknames or different names at different times.
*Titles may be clues to property ownership, occupations, rank, or status within the community.
*Continue to search the index and records to identify children, siblings, parents, and other relatives who may have served in the same unit or a nearby unit.
*You may need to search for both their Indian name and their English name.
*Be aware that, as with any index, transcription errors may occur.
 
=== Unable to Find Your Ancestor? === (sometimes combined with previous section, Tips to Keep in Mind)
Examples of what to put in this section:
*Check for variant spellings of the names.
*Look for an index. There are often indexes at the beginning of each volume. In addition local genealogical and historical societies often have indexes to local records.
*Search the records of nearby localities (or military units, counties, parishes, etc.).
 
===General Information about These Records===
Examples of what to put in this section:
*Physical description or format of the original material
*History of the record
*Why the record was created
*Reliability of the information in the record
*Percentage of the population covered in the record
*Preservation quality of the record
