Why research by place?
Historical borders rarely match modern borders. A family may have lived in the same place while countries, provinces, languages or governing authorities changed around them. GeneticVoyage connects geographic research with historical context so you can find the records that actually apply to your ancestors.
From place to records
Once you identify where an ancestor lived, continue to the relevant country or regional guide to find archives, census records, church books, civil registration, maps, databases and other genealogy resources.

How do I use a research log effectively?
A research log helps you track which records you’ve searched, what you found, and what’s still missing. We recommend filling it out as you go, it prevents duplicate searches and helps you identify patterns. Our template includes columns for date, source, location, and findings.
