π Genealogy Fun Fact: Why Records Are So Important
Historical records are the foundation of genealogy. Every birth, marriage, and death certificate helps to piece together the story of a familyβs past.
In the UK, civil registration began in 1837, providing a valuable record of key life events. Before that, genealogists rely heavily on parish records, which can date back to the 1500s in some areas.
At Fleetwood Heir Hunters, these records allow us to confirm identities, uncover lost relatives, and resolve estates that might otherwise remain unclaimed. Each document tells a part of a much larger story β one that continues to connect families today.
