Читать книгу Collins Tracing Your Family History - Ryan Tubridy, Anthony Adolph - Страница 70

For most people tracing ancestors in Britain and overseas, record-based research often starts with General Registration records of birth, marriage and death. These records are increasingly accessible via the Internet, and also held both centrally and regionally.

The main use of these records to genealogists is that birth records usually provide parents’ names; marriage records usually provide at least the father’s name and death certificates provide ages, and those for some countries provide details of place of birth and parentage. They provide names of the next generation back, which is exactly what you want.
