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

 * If your ancestor does not have a common name, collect entries for every person who has the same surname. This list can help you find possible relatives.
 * If you cannot locate your ancestor in the locality in which you believe they lived, try searching a nearby locality.
 * Try different spellings of your ancestor’s name.
 * Pay special attention to how the name should have been pronounced and try variations on the pronunciation.
