=== I Can’t Find the Person I’m Looking For, What Now? === 
*Consult the [[Denmark Record Finder]] to find other records
*When looking for a person with a common name, look at all the entries for the name before deciding which individual is correct. Use other information, such as place of birth, age, occupation, or names of parents, to determine which candidate is the correct person. If listed, a personal title may be a clue to property ownership or occupation, either of which might be noted in other records
*Check for variants of given names, surnames, and place names. Transcription errors could occur in any handwritten record; also, it was not uncommon for an individual be listed under a nickname or an abbreviation of their name
*Vary the search terms. For example, search by either the given name or surname to return broader list of possible candidates which can then be examined for matches
