Initial genealogical research

If you are just starting to study the history of your family and can not decide in any way - where to start - it is expedient to conduct an initial study.

Such a study helps determine the circlearchives, in which we are to work, to establish the degree of preservation of documents in these archives, to outline the main stages of the search - and this is necessary in order to know: how long will it take to compile your pedigree and what kind of waste this will result in.

Preliminary research is conducted within 2 - 4 months (depending on the completeness of the start information) and includes:

Search for one or two documents: a metric record of birth or marriage, an excerpt from a revision tale, a quotation from a track record, etc.

Drawing up a detailed work plan:
- which archives should be searched;
- what specific archival funds to study;
- In case of incompleteness of archival funds - where else it is necessary to conduct a search;
- how much time it will take to properly document and search for the compilation of the genealogy, the mural, the genealogical tree and other final documents.
