| These tips will help you as you research your ancestors in Hawaii. | | <br> |
| | '''Birth and Death information:'''<br> |
| | ---- |
| | *'''''Statewide registration:''''' Statewide registration of births began in 1842. Registration of deaths began in 1859. Few records exist until 1896, however, and registration was not generally complied with until 1929.<ref>''Hawaii Research Outline.'' Salt Lake City, Utah: Intellectual Reserve, Inc., Family History Department, July 1997, 14. (Accessed 17 Feb 2025). '''''Online at:''''' [https://files.lib.byu.edu/family-history-library/research-outlines/US/Delaware.pdf BYU University - Provo]</ref> |
| | *'''''Access to records:''''' See [[Hawaii Vital Records]] for more information about birth, marriages, and deaths in Hawaii. |
| | <br> |
| | '''Substitute Records:''' |
| | ---- |
| | *'''''Secondary source:''''' Substitute records are used when primary sources do not exist for an event, such as birth, marriage, and deaths. Secondary sources list information about the event but they were not recorded at the time of the event and they are not an official record of the event. |
| | *'''''Accuracy:''''' Because the information about an event in substitute records was not the official recording of the event (such as, cemetery or obituary records) inaccuracy may occur. Use other substitute records to help varify information. |
| | *'''''List of substitute records:''''' See [[Hawaii Substitute Records|Hawaii Substitute Records]] for more information. |
| | <br> |
| | '''Finding Parents:''' |
| | ---- |
| | *'''''Death records:''''' Death records created by the state starting in 1842 may contain parents of the deceased. Information was not always provided and the accuracy of the information was limited by the grieving relatives' memory. |
| | *'''''Obituaries:''''' Official obituaries can also include the names of parents and other family members. See [[Hawaii Newspapers]] and [[Hawaii Obituaries]] for more information. |
| | *'''''Church records:''''' Knowing the denominiation of the church the family belonged to helps in locating information about the parents. See [[Hawaii Church Records]] for more information. |
| | <br> |
| | '''Census Records:''' |
| | ---- |
| | *'''''Check all census years:''''' Always look for your ancestor in every possible census to learn more about them and their family members. See [[Hawaii Census|Hawaii Census Records]] for more information. |
| | *'''''Clues to other records:''''' There are clues in censuses regarding immigration, naturalization, and occupation that can lead to other records. |
| | *'''''Finding families:''''' Starting in 1850, all members of the household were listed in the census. By 1880, relationship to the head of household was added. |
|
| |
|
| *'''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 For United States Birth Information|substitute records]] to improve accuracy.
| | == Further Hawaii Research == |
| *'''Finding Parents:''' Hawaii death records exist as early as 1849. They often will list the parents of the deceased and their birth information. [[How to Find United States Death Records|Search Hawaii death records]]
| | *[http://files.lib.byu.edu/family-history-library/research-outlines/US/Hawaii.pdf Hawaii Family History Library Research Outline] |
| *'''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. [[United States Census Online|Search U.S. Censuses]].
