Open recordA short research guide
Begin with what you know. Write down the names on your own family records and the county and approximate date any ancestor lived in.
Work backwards, one documented generation at a time. Start with your most recent ancestor who can be placed in a record, then use birth, marriage, census and other records to connect each generation to its parents.
Build the chain in writing. A claim of descent stands on a continuous chain of named individuals, each step supported by a record. A shared surname, however distinctive, is not on its own proof of connection.
When the chain reaches 1660. Only then compare it with the historical roll. If a name and county match, that is a starting point for deeper research, not confirmation of descent.
The 1660 Order was proposed but never established. This archive is historical research, independent of the modern KRO687 organisation. A historical record, possible descent or research submission does not create a modern admission, award, title or post-nominal.
