I Found the Person I Was Looking For, What Now?

 * Add any new information to your records
 * Use the township and farmer's name to search for land and property records
 * It is often helpful to extract the information on all families with the same surname in the same general area. If the surname is uncommon, it is likely that those living in the same area were related
 * Married family members may have lived nearby but in a separate household, so you may want to search an entire town, neighboring towns, or even a county
 * You may be able to identify an earlier generation if elderly parents were living with or close by a married child. You may be able to identify a younger generation if a young married couple still lived with one of their sets of parents
 * Additional searches may be needed to locate all members of a particular family in the census

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

 * Look for variant spellings of the names. You should also look for nicknames and abbreviated names
 * Look for an index. There are often indexes at the beginning of each volume. Local genealogical and historical societies often have indexes to local records
 * Search the indexes and records of nearby counties
 * There is also the possibility that a family was missed in the census
