Status: bulk-only (no API): needs an ingest job + the legally required exclusion of the opposition file — queued. Until it is live, Provara tells you when this archive is where to look and you bring the record in yourself.
How to search it in Provara
- Birth, marriage and death records: ask Provara for a birth, marriage or death by name, place and year.
- Provara searches this archive alongside every other live one, ranks what comes back by how many of the person's recorded facts each hit contains, and shows you the record with a ready citation. Nothing is added to your tree until you confirm it.
Record types here
- Birth, marriage and death records — Civil registration and church registers: the dates and parents that anchor every generation.

Every licence on these pages was read from the archive's own terms on the date shown. Provara proposes only what a record it has read supports, shows the record beside the claim, and marks anything unsourced as a hypothesis. Nothing on this page states a fact about any person.
