=== 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]].

*When you have located your ancestor’s record, carefully evaluate each piece of information given. Save a copy of the image or transcribe the information. These pieces of information may give you new biographical details such as a title, an occupation, or land ownership. Add this new information to your records of each family. You should also look for leads to other records about your ancestors                           

*[[Italy Church Records|Church Records]] often were kept years before government records were required and are a good source for finding ancestors before 1900

===I Can't Find the Person I'm Looking For, What Now?===                               

*Switch to a different record collection. Depending on the time period, either Civil Registration records or Church Records may be more useful                                   

*Keep in mind that there may be more than one person in the records with the same name                           

*Standard spelling of names typically did not exist during the periods our ancestors lived in. Try variations of your ancestor’s name while searching the index or browsing through images. Pay special attention to how the name should have been pronounced and try variations on the pronunciation
