Sources of our research


One of the most important documents in conducting genealogical research is the parish register, where acts of baptism, marriage, and death were recorded, irrespective of social class. These records were maintained in Anglican, Catholic, and Protestant churches. In different parts of the United Kingdom, entries were recorded in English and Latin. The clergy and nobility hold a special place in the history of the British Isles. The sources related to their genealogy are truly fascinating. Biographical descriptions and ancestors' histories, stretching back several centuries, allow one to immerse themselves in the family's history and feel a connection to the great events of the past.
Additionally, our experts actively explore other valuable historical materials that help uncover the biographies of people who lived in past centuries. Important sources of biographical information often include personal files from the 19th and 20th centuries related to employment and education. Special attention is given to local censuses, conducted in both urban and rural areas every decade. Among the useful sources are military registration documents, as well as descriptions and plans of real estate. All these materials allow for a more detailed insight into the everyday lives of ancestors who left their mark in history.
Time inexorably moves forward, carrying with it the pages of the past and the mysterious destinies of ancestors. It is difficult to imagine, but behind each person in the family tree is an entire lived life. These individuals left their mark in time, filling their lives with events, joy and sorrow, happiness and sadness. And despite the fact that they have long departed from our world, their legacy, like an invisible thread, connects us to the past. The importance of preserving this history is undeniable. The European Genealogical Center provides an opportunity to delve into it. Remembering, preserving, and respecting history means not only delving into our past but also strengthening our connection to what makes us a unique part of the present.
