Are you trying to locate members of your family tree? For those doing genealogical research, looking up an address is one of the most frequent tasks to be done. Public records are indispensable for this. They consist of records such as deaths, births and marriage and property records such as the purchase or sale of a house or property. Just like a detective, start with what you know and work backwards. Look up information on your birth or the birth of a relative and start to connect the dots. Take the information you find – names, addresses, etc. – and do cross-checks to find where these clues lead.
