== How to Use the Record  ==
== Other FamilySearch Collections ==
 
These collections may have additional materials to help you with your research.
To begin your search it is helpful to know the following:
 
*Name
*Date registration was filed
*Place of residence when registering
 
=== Search the Collection  ===
 
To search the collection fill in the requested information in the boxes on the initial search page. This search will return a list of possible matches. Compare the information about the individuals 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 look at the information on several individuals comparing the information about them to your ancestors to make this determination. Keep in mind:
 
*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.
*If your ancestor used an alias or a nickname, be sure to check for those alternate names.
*Even though these indexes are very accurate they may still contain inaccuracies, such as altered spellings, misinterpretations, and optical character recognition errors if the information was scanned.
 
For tips about searching on-line collections see the wiki article [[FamilySearch Search Tips and Tricks]].
 
=== Using the Information  ===
 
When you have located your ancestor’s record, carefully evaluate each piece of information given. Make a photocopy of the record, or extract the genealogical information needed. These pieces of information may give you new biographical details. Add this new information to your records of each family. The information may also lead you to other records about your ancestors. The following examples show ways you can use the information:
 
*Use the names and relationships as a basis for compiling family groups.  
*Use the name and address or residence to locate the individual on the census.
*Use the age listed to determine an approximate birth date.
 
=== Tips to Keep in Mind  ===
 
*You may need to compare the information of more than one family or person to make this determination.
*These individuals may have later filed to become naturalized citizens.
*If you are unable to find the ancestors you are looking for, check for variant spellings of the names.
