VOICE TWO:
Records kept by religious groups are among the most dependable for family research projects. Also, local governments usually keep official copies of birth, marriage and death records.
Records of marriages and deaths are often the most helpful documents. Death records, for example, tell where the person lived. They also list the names of the person’s parents. And they list a cause of death.
Useful information might also be found in local court and tax records. And local governments may have copies of wills. These statements of final wishes often contain details about a person's life and possessions.

The United States government has many helpful records for genealogists. It has collected population records every ten years since the end of the seventeen hundreds. Early census records had few details. They gave the name of the head of the family. They listed the number of people in the family.
