Step 6:
Access public records
Rules for accessing public records differ from country to country. Your background research into the political and social climate of that country, as well as your understanding of what records may be available, will help when deciding how to proceed. Several options exist that can potentially lend support and answer questions. They include:
A genealogical society may be able to help you navigate your way through any procedures required to access this information, and may help with language barriers.
You can contact the embassy, consulate, and national archives for a region or country, and ask about accessing records.
In most Internet search engines, you can type "vital records," "census," or "national archives," and you'll be referred to sites that provide addresses for record keeping institutions.
Some genealogical websites contain bulletin boards and chat rooms, where you can potentially form a dialogue with other researchers who may have similar interests.
Professional genealogists sometimes specialize in a particular region of the world, or a specific type of public record. You can find directories that list these professionals at a public or genealogical library.
