When the Record Doesn't Exist: Strategies for Determining Vital Data About Your Ancestors

Presented by David Allen Lambert
Original Broadcast: August 12, 2025

Vital records do not survive for all time periods, or they may never have existed. Many regions in the United States, for example, didn’t start recording vital records until the late nineteenth century. In this online lecture, Chief Genealogist David Allen Lambert discusses how to ensure you are doing an exhaustive search, provide information on alternate sources, and how to draw conclusions from multiple sources when a “smoking gun” record doesn’t exist. We will also discuss how to narrow a timeframe when even less information can be found.
