What Do I Do Next?[edit | edit source]
I Found the Person I Was Looking For, What Now?[edit | edit source]
- Add any new information to your records
- If available, check the image for additional information
- Use the age listed to determine an approximate birth date. This date along with the place of birth can help you find a birth record. Birth records often list biographical and marital details about the parents and close relatives outside of the immediate family
- Birthplaces can tell you former residences and can help to establish a migration pattern for the family
- If they are subject to military service, they may have military files in the State or National Archives
- Occupations listed can lead you to employment records or other types of records such as school records
- 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
- Additional searches may be needed to locate all members of a particular family in the census
- The census may identify persons for whom other records do not exist
I Can't Find the Person I'm Looking For, What Now?[edit | edit source]
- Consult the Czech Republic Record Finder to find other records
- Check for variant spellings of the names
- Look for an index. There are often indexes at the beginning of each volume. In addition local genealogical and historical societies often have indexes to local records
- Search the records of nearby localities (counties, parishes, etc.)
