What to do if you can’t find your individual in an index:


 * Some online indexes do not include all counties for all years. Your person's birth record may exist but not in the index you are searching.Check all possible indexes available.
 * Some online indexes require exact spelling to get a result. Try different ways of spelling the person's first or last name.
 * If you did not get results, type in less information about the person. Try only search for the first and last name of the person.
 * If you have too many hits, try adding information including approximate birth date and the county
 * Try a different index. Different indexes use different search parameters and your ancestor may be located in one but not the other.
