An application form is required to initiate a search and the applicant needs to indicate the number of generations they wish to include in the search. The RGD Research Unit conducts its investigations by conducting interviews, visiting previous residences, visiting final resting places, checking RGD’s records database (repository of indices of all vital events) and conducting other index searches.
