|
| |
| Research Use: Provide the results of previous research such as pedigree lineage information` and may lead to the original sources of documentation. Often provide information from record types, areas, and time periods where we have not yet been able to acquire the original records.
| |
|
| |
| Record Type: Compiled genealogies, organized collections of lineage data, family histories, pedigrees, family genealogies and town lineage books, whether manuscript or published.
| |
|
| |
| Time Period: Varies
| |
|
| |
| Contents: Names of individuals; dates and places of birth, marriage, and death; names of parents and children. Many include histories and illustrations of ancestors and ancestral homes. Town lineage books have all families of a given town arranged into family groups. May provide source citations or copies of documents. Many are indexed.
| |
|
| |
| Locations: Varies; city archives and state provincial archives; public and private libraries, and other repositories. Some are in private archives.
| |
|
| |
| Reliability: As accurate as the compiler. Compiled information is subject to error. Generally, family histories are reliable but information provided should be verified from primary sources. Many genealogical collections were kept in the former Prussian areas now under Polish administration. Prussian scholarship demanded accuracy.<ref name="profile">The Family History Department of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, “Family History Record Profile: Poland,” Word document, private files of the FamilySearch Content Strategy Team, 1987-1999.</ref>
