==Compiled Genealogies==
The term compiled genealogy is used in this Wiki article 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.

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