== Record Finder Table for Northwest Territories ==
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.


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


1. In column 1 find the goal you selected.
===Vital Events ===
