Hawaii Research Tips[edit | edit source]
These tips will help you as you research your ancestors in Hawaii.
- Birth information: Statewide registration of births began in 1842 in Hawaii, but most records begin in 1896, with general compliance by 1929. A helpful substitute record to find birth information is a death record. However, date and place of birth on a death record is considered secondary information, as it was not recorded at the time of the birth event. The birth information should be corroborated with other substitute records to improve accuracy.
- Finding Parents: Hawaii death records exist as early as 1849. They often will list the parents of the deceased and their birth information. Search Hawaii death records
- Look in all censuses: Always look for your ancestor in every possible census. There are clues regarding immigration, naturalization, and occupation that can lead to other records. Sometimes parents can be found living with their children later in life. Search U.S. Censuses.
Hawaii Record Finder[edit | edit source]
This brief Record Finder is designed to help you determine the best record to search for the type of information you are looking for. It is most helpful for post-1850 research. For a more complete Record Finder, covering additional research needs, see Hawaii Record Finder.
