Welcome to the Imperial War Museum Family History web pages.  Whether you are just trying to find out where a relative died, or want to conduct more detailed research, we hope you will find something to help you here. 

There are few quick and easy answers in the field of family history – you will need to know some basic information before you begin. These pages will explain what information you will need and where to find it.  Remember, not all records have survived, but there may be other sources you can try.  Although some information can be found by using the internet, most information is still not available online. You may need to make an appointment to visit the Imperial War Museum reference departments or other organisations to continue your research.
