|
| | This table can help you decide which records to search using the following steps: |
|
| |
|
| == Record Finder Table for Yorkshire ==
| | Step 1. '''In column 1''', find your goal. |
| The following Record Finder table assists researchers in determining record types that may list the information they are looking for.
| |
| === Order of Records ===
| |
| The typically most reliable sources are listed at the top of the list. However, depending on the time period of the record and location, multiple records in the list may need to be searched to achieve the objective. Alternative records are listed as well in case traditional records do not provide the desired information.
| |
|
| |
|
| == List of Topics ==
| | Step 2. '''In column 2''', find the types of records most likely to have the information you need. |
| This Record Finder table links to the Yorkshire topic Wiki pages, containing databases and other information about accessing the records.
| |
|
| |
|
| ===Vital Events ===
| | Step 3. '''In column 3''', find additional records that may be useful. |
