Birth, Death and Marriage Records for the Lead Family History
Birth, Death and Marriage records are often the best method of making the links to the Lead Genealogy that will form part of your family tree. Although records vary from country to country, they are normally the most formal record of a person's relations.

A marriage certificate may also list the names of the respective fathers of the bride and groom which may then help you to find them earlier in life on a census record enabling you to fill out more detail in the Lead family tree.
