Iranian compiled genealogies and oral histories are invaluable resources for genealogical research, offering unique insights into family lineages, cultural traditions, and historical events that may not be documented in vital records. Compiled genealogies in books can offer meticulously researched family trees and historical documentation, further enriching the understanding of one's heritage. Oral histories, some passed down through generations, often include detailed accounts of family origins, migrations, and significant life events, providing valuable context and personal connections to ancestors. | |||

'''Books''': These works include lineages, tribal history, biographies of prominent individuals, poetry, or encyclopedic entries of tribes and their sub-divisions. Some of the resources listed above treat with specific tribes, while others look at groups of tribes. The scope of each resource affects the level of detail it contains on actual individuals and their families. While some books contain detailed genealogies with specific names from generation to generation, others treat with tribes generally, focusing more on their history and movement. The latter type of book can be especially useful for individuals who are unsure of where their ancestors lived, as these books can provide information on towns or regions where certain tribes can be found. | |||
'''Oral histories''': Genealogical information that can be obtained from oral histories include extended family relationships, order and explanation of life events, and context. | |||
