=== Records that solve common name problems === | |||
When doing research for a person or family, it is important to search the commonly used records to begin. Those records for Wales are: | |||
*Civil Registration | |||
*Census | |||
*Church Records | |||
After thoroughly searching those records and laying a foundation for the family using the information found in them, you should then collect identifying information from other less-used records to verify and clarify the research you have done. Use the following records after you have used the commonly used records: | |||
*Burial Records or Monumental Inscriptions (MI’s) | |||
*Probate Records | |||
*Land and Property | |||
*Taxation | |||
* Compiled Pedigrees | |||
*Marriage bonds and allegations | |||
*Poor law records | |||
*Court Records: Petty Sessions, Quarter Sessions, Great Sessions <br> | |||
Be sure to analyze and evaluate carefully each record. You may have to view a record several times to gather all pertinent information for a person or family. | |||
