When conducting a search, be sure to also search for name variations, misspellings, or abbreviations. Sometimes only an initial or abbreviation was recorded, such as Chas. for Charles or Thos. for Thomas. Consider such name variations as Eliza, Beth, Liz, or Liza  for Elizabeth; Alex for Alexander; Jim for James; or Jon for John. If  you are looking for an immigrant ancestor, look for the name as spelled or pronounced in his or her native language.
