interested in tracing ancestral roots?

Have you checked out our introductory guide to tracing ancestral roots in Trinidad and Tobago? It includes a summary of tips and genealogical resources to help you begin your family history research at home.
We encourage you to start the process by documenting the information you already know and by interviewing relatives who may have more family knowledge. It’s also important to keep a personal archive of family memorabilia, such as photos, postcards, newspaper clippings, birth/marriage/death certificates, etc. which may give you unique clues into your family’s past.
Once you have sufficient information, try building a family tree and filling in the gaps as you do more research. For reference, we’ve included a basic outline of a family tree on Page 4 of the Introductory Guide.
You may find other sources of information in the official records of governments, cemeteries, archival institutions and libraries. See Pages 8-11 of our Introductory Guide for some general information on official records and where they can be located.
For those of you who would like to visit the National Archives to view our records, please make an appointment via phone (+1 868-623-2874) or email (enquiries@archives.gov.tt) and give us an idea of the records you are interested in looking at.
