What Compiled Genealogies Are
The term compiled genealogy is used 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. Because compiled genealogies are secondary sources of information, they must be carefully evaluated and original records found to verify accuracy.
