There are two index systems used to catalog the civil registration information; the GRO index and the GRONI index. If you have GRO index information, you must obtain the registration from a repository that catalogs the information based on this index and vice versa for the GRONI index information. '''GRO indexed '''information is shown in '''bold''' and ''GRONI indexed ''information is shown in''italic''.
 
'''Step 1:''' '''Determine where to obtain the actual registration information.'''
Below is a table showing the civil registration information available at the Family History Library or through Family History Centers, the GRO and the GRONI. Determine whether your index information is based on the GRO or the GRONI catalog system and then identify where you want to obtain the actual registration information.
