      Family tree project underway in Iran

Wednesday, November 09, 2005 - ?2005 IranMania.com

LONDON, November 9 (IranMania) - All Iranians can get information about their forebears and develop a family tree by providing their family trees to Iranian Documents and National Library Organization, reported CHN.

This the first time in Iran that a governmental institution has undertaken the responsibility of supplying information about families at the national level.

The main objective of the plan is to create national identity of Iranian people and reinforce national solidarity.

Deputy head of Iranian Documents and National Library Organization said that since there are many noble families in Iran, this plan can help to preserve their identities.

Kianoush Kiani Haft-Lang pointed out that besides the research applications of this plan, it will help forge solidarity among different Iranian tribes.

Some elderly people and university professors have already submitted necessary information.

   Those interested can call 22254296 and 22255118 in Tehran to receive additional information.

(There are 11+ pages of ads on Yahoo search about Iranian genealogy and/or family trees. I looked on ancestry.com and Iran is not  among its countries lists, but IS on http://www.familysearch.org --the free, Mormon site. Hope this gives you a start.)

Answer 2

Assuming your parents are still alive, begin with them.  Record where each was born and the names of their parents, including their mother&#039;s maiden name.  Record  wedding dates wherever possible.  Ask other relatives.  I don&#039;t know if any of the free genealogy databases include Iran.  Try:

Also contact your local reference librarian at the public library.  Good luck!
