Registration District The General Register Office for England and Wales (GRO) is responsible for ensuring the registration of all births, marriages and deaths that have occurred in England and Wales since 1837 and for maintaining a central archive. The GRO works in partnership with local authorities to provide a locally based service at register offices (known as the local registration service). The local registrars send birth, marriage and death register information to GRO to make up the National archive. It is situated at Southport except for the London based Family Records Centre. The Southport office deals with postal and telephone requests for certificates and the registration of all adoptions made through a court in England and Wales. At the Family Records Centre (FRC) you can go there to search the indexes of births, marriages and deaths if you need a certificate to assist in tracing your family tree or for any administrative purpose.

If you have a tree you would like to make public and you also have links to Sale, contact SCW and you can link to it from here. Start with relatives - talk to older family members and build rough family tree with what they can remember of names, dates, places. Search family for copies of any certificates - birth and marriage most likely. Also check for any other family papers, letters etc. You can start from this known information and check it out with the official records using the sources above. Read some introductory books - there are
lots about these days. A good one is 'Short Cuts in Family History'
by Michael Gandy. published 1998 by Countryside Books and the Federation
of Family History Societies.
