How does Meet Your Family.co.uk conduct its research?

The main sources for research are the Birth Marriage and Death indexes, Census returns and Parish registers. There are many other genealogical sources that we use according to the individual circumstances, such as Service records; Occupational sources and land records etc. We do not routinely look for death records, unless specifically requested in English research, as this can be very time-consuming and does not usually help to establish earlier generations.

If you have a particular interest (such as an ancestor’s military service, or a particular date of death) please make this clear at the outset and we will do our best to find out what you want to know.
