Compiled Genealogies

The term compiled genealogy is used in this Wiki article to describe a variety of records containing family information previously gathered by other researchers, societies, or archives. These records can include pedigree charts, compiled data on families, correspondence, ancestor lists, research exchange files, record abstracts, and collections of original or copied documents. These can be excellent sources of information that can save you valuable time. Because they are secondary sources of information, however, they must be carefully evaluated for accuracy.

Oral Genealogies

Oral genealogies are spoken lineages that are common in certain parts of the world. Oral Genealogies can be especially useful in localities where few if any written records exist and in some cultures are the main genealogical tool for researchers.

• For more background information, see Oral Genealogies.

There are not many oral genealogies online for Mauritius, and therefore, interviewing likely family members of the deceased individuals may be more productive than searching for oral genealogies online.

• For more information on how to do this see Creating Oral Histories.
