Oral Genealogies: Difference between revisions

Oral history interviews in the Pacific Islands began as early as the 1930s. During the 1960s and 1970s, oral history interviews were conducted in various islands in the South Pacific by employees of the Genealogical Society of Utah. Oral genealogy interviews were recorded in their native languages and have been transcribed and are available at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City. Genealogies of those interviewed are included, as well as historical accounts, charts, drawings, family genealogy books, and other records. Most pedigrees begin with the earliest known ancestor and continue to the late twentieth century. Persons interviewed in the oral genealogy project gave names of family members, living relatives, names of deceased ancestors, relationships, and other family history details, often extending back to the nineteenth century and sometimes earlier.
