In recent years there has been an increase in family history research, in trying to trace ancestors, relationships and events in the Liverpoolarea during the last 160 years or so.
If your family came from Liverpool, you can find out about your family history at the Liverpool Register Office. Copies of Birth, Marriage or Death Certificates from the period 1837 to the present day are available by post or by personal visit.
Family researchers, professional genealogists and probate companies now account for up to 25% of the requests we receive for copy certificates or other historical information.
Family historians may be interested in a list of other Family History Research Sites.
