Gather
Write down what you know and mark anything you are unsure about.
Places, documents, memory
Start with what you already know about your relative. Gather the details and questions that can guide you towards sources, one step at a time.
Make a starting planThe app is in development. Archive search and registration are not yet available.
From detail to history
A name, a family memory or a surviving document can be a starting point. Finding a record matters, but so does understanding what it actually confirms.
Write down what you know and mark anything you are unsure about.
Compare possible records with what your family knows. A matching name does not establish identity.
Keep the source alongside each fact and leave unanswered questions visible.
