Begin your search broadly by search on just a first and last name.
You can narrow results as needed by including a year, occupation, place, or additional keyword. However, as some fields may not be populated for your ancestor’s record, such as occupation, it is best to start the search broadly so as not to miss your ancestor with too narrow search parameters.
In viewing the image(s) attached to a transcript, you will be taken to the first image of the document in which the individual is named. This means that the name of your ancestor may be found on the subsequent image(s) of the same document. Use the previous and next buttons to navigate through the images.
