'''Types of Genealogical Information'''<br> | |||
'''''Vital event information''''' can uniquely identify a person as distinct from any other person. It is generally compiled on family group records and pedigree charts. It includes— | |||
* Names. The complete name, including given or first names and the last or surname for<br> | |||
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The person.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Father and mother.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Spouse (husband or wife).<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All children.<br> | |||
* Gender. | |||
* Dates and places of—<br> | |||
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Birth (or christening)<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Marriage<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Death (or burial)<br> | |||
* Relationships (to spouse, children and parents) | |||
When you cannot find all of this information about every ancestor, you may need to calculate or estimate dates and places of birth, marriage, and death. | |||
'''''Biographical information''''' gives additional information about a person’s life, such as— | |||
* Religious beliefs<br>* Religious events such as confirmation<br>* Latter-day Saint ordinance dates<br>* Purchase of property<br>* Employment information<br>* Dates of immigration and naturalization<br>* Migration to other places<br>* Social and economic status<br>* Military service<br>* Education and other accomplishments<br>* Ethnic group<br>* Participation in community, social and historical events<br>* Naming practices<br>* Family traditions<br>* Cause of death | |||
Often you need biographical information to identify which records have the genealogical information you need. In such cases, biographical information is essential, not optional!<br> | |||
