== Record Finder Table for Nunavut ==
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 ==
=== Introduction ===
This Record Finder table links to the Nunavut topic Wiki pages, containing databases and other information about accessing the records.
This table can help you decide which records to search in [[Nunavut Genealogy|Nunavut]]. It is most helpful for post-1800 research.  


===Vital Events ===
1. In column 1 find the goal you selected.
{| width="65%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" border="1"
 
2. In column 2 find the types of records most likely to have the information you need.
 
3. In column 3 find additional record types that may be useful.
 
4. Then look for the record type you need in the Locality Search of the FamilySearch Catalog.
 
Note: Records of previous research (genealogy, biography, history, periodicals, and societies) are useful for most goals, but are not listed unless they are ''especially'' helpful.
