Research Process
- Find your assigned names on the Assignment Sheet
- For each of your names, open the link under “Find a Grave Link” (the YELLOW column)
- If the search returns one result:
- Confirm that it is the correct individual by comparing the name, city, state and date of death with the data on the Assignment Sheet
- If the search returns more than one result:
- Determine if one of the results is the correct individual by comparing the name, city, state and date of death with the data on the Assignment Sheet
- If the search returns no results:
- Click “Refine Search” to edit your search, and try the following searches, in the order below:
- the individual’s first INITIAL only, then last name, year of death, and state
- ONLY the individual’s last name, year of death, and state
- the individual’s full name and year of death, but change the location to “United States of America” (not a state)
- You can also try common sense variations on name spellings (e.g. Anderson vs Andersen, etc.)
- You can also look at the Burial City Map – If an individual was sent to a community near a state border, he/she might have been buried in the adjacent state.
- Click “Refine Search” to edit your search, and try the following searches, in the order below:
- WHETHER OR NOT you find the individual on Find a Grave, go to the Data Entry Form
- Enter your name, and select the individual’s name
- Follow the prompts to complete the entry
- Go on to your next assigned name on the Assignment Sheet (REPEAT FROM STEP 1)
