How to search it in Provara
- Reference works: ask Provara to confirm what a term or an institution on a record refers to.
- Places and gazetteers: ask Provara where a place on a record actually is.
- 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
- Reference works — Encyclopaedic and structured reference data that fixes a place, an institution or an event a record refers to.
- Places and gazetteers — Every named place, current and historical, with its county and coordinates — how a vanished village on a record is found on a map.
