Advanced Search Techniques
Fuzzy Name Matching
The AI recognizes name variations, nicknames, and common misspellings to find relevant records even when names aren’t exact matches.
Family Composition Search
Search by family structure rather than just names—find families with specific age ranges, occupations, or relationships.
Geographic Intelligence
The system understands historical geographic boundaries and name changes, allowing searches across regions that may have changed over time.
Interpreting Search Results
The JioSphere Browser Ancestry Explorer doesn’t just find records—it helps you understand them in context:

- Use Family Groups Search for family units rather than individuals. Including known family members in your search helps the AI make connections across records.
- Leverage Location History When available, use address information from previous research to narrow searches, as families often stayed in the same area across multiple census years.
- Cross-Reference Occupations Occupations often remained consistent across census years and can be a valuable identifier when names have variations or are common.
Troubleshooting Common Challenges
What if I can’t find a person in a census year when I know they were alive?
Try these approaches:
- Search for other family members who might have been living with them
- Use the “Family Composition” search to look for families with similar structure
- Check neighboring geographic areas—boundaries changed frequently
- Look for significant name variations or potential transcription errors
- Use the AI’s “Suggest Missing Records” feature to get intelligent recommendations
How do I resolve conflicting information between census years?
Census inconsistencies are common and can be addressed by:
- Using the “Record Comparison” tool to view discrepancies side by side
- Checking who provided the information (often noted in the census)
- Looking for corroborating evidence in other record types
- Using the AI’s “Consistency Analysis” to get probability assessments
- Recording all variations and your reasoning in the notes section
What should I do when the AI suggests connections I’m unsure about?
The AI provides suggestions based on probability, but you remain in control:
- Review the confidence score provided with each suggestion
- Use the “Evidence Viewer” to see exactly what data points led to the connection
- Mark suggestions as “Possible” rather than “Confirmed” until you’re certain
- Look for additional records to corroborate the connection
- Consult the “Research Community” feature for input from other genealogists
