Searching for specific documents in archives, various institutions, and organizations can be useful for confirming kinship or property rights. Specialists from the European Genealogical Center search for a variety of documents, such as civil registration records or personal records: birth, marriage (divorce), and death certificates; autobiographies, personal files from workplaces, educational institutions, service records, household and estate books, family lists, population censuses, residential registration documents, military records, and others.
