Читать книгу Collins Tracing Your Family History - Ryan Tubridy, Anthony Adolph - Страница 102

Most countries around the world have General Registration, although relatively few have had such a system for anything like as long as Britain. Below are some details of General Registration in countries where British people may wish to do research. In all cases, you can obtain up-to-date information and advice from the relevant country’s embassy in London, usually from the embassy’s cultural section. Bear in mind that the primary duty of an embassy is not to help you trace your family tree, and the average receptionist is unlikely to be an expert on genealogy, so a considerable degree of polite persistence is often required to ensure you are passed on to someone who will be able to help. But, invariably, your efforts will pay off.
