Top Research Tips
-
When preparing to visit an archive or
library, always contact them first to ensure they have what you're
looking for, their opening hours and any fees etc.
-
Take a copy of your family tree or at
least a list of names you are researching, so you don't forget which
names to check. This also makes it easy to update your records when you
get home.
-
If you can't find someone in the civil
registration indexes, they may have registered overseas. The FRC (Family
Records Centre) and the GROS (General Register Office for Scotland) have
separate indexes.
-
Some people didn't bother with or were
wary of civil registration at first. However 1875 saw the introduction
of strict penalties for non-registration. So you may still have to check
the parish registers between 1837 and 1875!
