Records are arranged into family groups and clans. Records frequently give at least three generations. Information includes where families came from and new places of residence when families moved. The records are very valuable in compiling family groups. They have the same value as a census or a family history. Civil censuses have not been recommended for filming. It is, therefore, critical that these be acquired where possible. Some large cities do have the historical copies of this record. | |||
Records begin in 1820, and contain the given name and surname of the head of the household and all individuals in that household, and the relationships to the head of household. May also include some or all of the following: names of parents of named persons, including the maiden name of the mother; profession; place and date of birth; place and date of death; marital status; residences of family members who have moved from the community and the date of departure. | |||
Records are housed at communal archives. Some communities have disposed of earlier records. It is estimated these records identify 95%-100% of the population in areas where they exist. Where these records are available access is usually limited to staff searches for interested individuals. For some of the historical documents, searches may be permitted by the public but could require significant amounts of time. | |||
