==Compiled Genealogies==
The term genealogy is used in this Wiki article and in the FamilySearch Catalog to describe a variety of records containing family information previously gathered by other researchers, societies, or archives. These records can include pedigree charts, compiled data on families, correspondence, ancestor lists, research exchange files, record abstracts, and collections of original or copied documents. These can be excellent sources of information that can save you valuable time. Because they are secondary sources of information, however, they must be carefully evaluated for accuracy.

An important collection of compiled genealogies from Cook Islands is found in the ''Cole Jensen Collection: Oral Genealogies and Genealogical Information Collected from the Polynesian Peoples and from the Pacific Islands''. These records were collected by William Cole and Elwin Jensen over a period of 50 years and microfilmed by the Genealogical Department of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1984. The original collection consisted of 51 binders. The original materials no longer exist as an intact collection. However, there are nine microfilms ('''1358001-1358009''') that may be available to view at the Family History Centers. This collection has family group records, pedigree charts, oral genealogies, and other genealogical materials collected from the islands of ''Hawaii, New Zealand, Samoa, Tonga, Niue, Cook Islands, and French Polynesia, ''including the ''Society, Marquesas, Austral Islands, ''and the ''Tuamotu Archipelago.''

==Oral Genealogies==
Oral genealogies are spoken lineages that are common in certain parts of the world. Oral Genealogies can be especially useful in localities where few if any written records exist and in some cultures are the main genealogical tool for researchers. The following are resources for finding Oral Genealogies for the Cook Islands.

During the 1970s the Genealogical Department commissioned people to go to the Pacific Islands and gather oral genealogies because they realized how fragile these important sources of family information are.They made arrangements for the interviews and the older people talked into the tape recorder microphone to get their genealogy on tape. Later the gatherers typed transcripts of the interviews onto paper. The paper transcripts were microfilmed,You can use the table below to find the microfilm number of the '''transcript''' for the interview you are interested in.
