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.

There are not many oral genealogies online for India, and therefore, interviewing likely family members of the deceased individuals may be more productive than searching for oral genealogies online.
