A birth Certificate is the only true valid source in Genealogy
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
A birth certificate is not the only true valid source in genealogy. While birth certificates can provide valuable information about an individual's birth date, place of birth, and parents' names, they are just one of many sources that genealogists use to research and document family history. Other sources such as marriage certificates, death certificates, census records, immigration records, and church records also provide important information for genealogical research. Therefore, it is incorrect to claim that a birth certificate is the only true valid source in genealogy.Rate this question:
