Tracing your family history is an exciting venture. Sometimes daunting, often frustrating, but never dull.
The pages in this section will help to get you started and point you to sources of local information, links and general resources.
If you have never looked into your family history before and do not know how to begin, see our Where To Start section.
This also give pointers for those who are already on the ancestry trail.
Included here in our Family History area is a full list of the type of information you might find on Birth, Marriage and Death certificates. You can also find out about censuses from 1841 to 1901. These are some of the main documents that will help in your research, certainly in the earlier stages.
Our Local Resources and Useful Web Links Directories contain details of essential websites and data repositories.
Eastbourne Borough Council cannot respond to any individual requests for information about your family. We hope you are able to find plenty here to point you in the right direction.
