Vital records are foundational to genealogical research, as they offer a well-documented and official account of an individual’s life, establishing links between generations, documenting important events, and providing a starting point for tracing one’s family history. Their significance lies in their role as primary sources that offer a reliable and structured path to understanding the past. Come learn more about these tools for your genealogy: birth records, marriage records, death records, adoption records, and divorce records.
