== How to Use the Record ==
If you do not know this information, check the census records after 1900.  
Explain what type of information this section includes; that is, what subtopics you include.
This section provides information on how to search the collection, what to do with information once found, some tips on how to find records, and what to do if no record is found.  


Include the following paragraph for all collections.
=== Search the Collection  ===
Modify what the user needs to know in order to search the collection. The information here should be collection specific and may also be in bullet form.
'''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===
To search the collection, <br> ⇒ Select "Browse through images" on the initial collection page <br> ⇒ Select the "NARA Roll Number - Contents" which takes you to the images.<br>
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.
Look at each 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. Keep in mind:
'''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>
*There may be more than one person in the records with the same name.
*You may not be sure of your own ancestor’s name.
*Your ancestor may have used different names or variations of their name throughout their life.


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.
=== Using the Information  ===


When you have located your ancestor’s record, carefully evaluate each piece of information given. These pieces of information may give you new biographical details that can lead you to other records about your ancestors. Add this new information to your records of each family. For example, you can use passenger lists to:


Include the following four sections when appropriate.
*Learn an immigrant’s place of origin
*Confirm their date of arrival
*Learn foreign and “Americanized” names
*Find records in his or her country of origin such as emigrations, port records, or ship’s manifests.


===Using the Information===
=== Tips to Keep in Mind  ===
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 ===
*If your ancestor had a common name, be sure to look at all the entries for a name before you decide which is correct.  
Examples of what to put in this section:
*Continue to search the passenger lists to identify siblings, parents, and other relatives in the same or other generations who may have immigrated at the same time.
*When looking for a person who had a common name, look at all the entries for the name before deciding which is correct.
*If your ancestor has an uncommon surname, you may want to obtain the passenger list of every person who shares your ancestor’s surname if they lived in the same county or nearby. You may not know how or if they are related, but the information could lead you to more information about your own ancestors.
*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)
=== Unable to Find Your Ancestor? ===
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===
*Check for variant spellings of the name.
Examples of what to put in this section:
*Look for an index. Records are often indexed by local historical and genealogical societies.
*Physical description or format of the original material
*Search the passenger lists year by year.
*History of the record
*Search the indexes of other port cities.
*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
