Use Google Country Codes to Search Ancestry

Learn the Google country codes for searching ancestry records in countries of origin.

I have put together a series of articles to help you learn how to search for ancestry records and find information for writing narratives, family profiles, history, etc. Each article contains a series of easy steps. See other articles for specific countries.

Australia	Austria	Belgium
Canada	Denmark	England
Finland	France	Germany
Greece	Iceland	Ireland
Italy	Liechtenstein	Luxembourg
Netherlands	New Zealand	Norway

One of the steps is entitled: “In Country Website Search Queries,” which will help you look for ancestry records in your country of origin. To search for in-country records and information, you will need to know the Google country codes.

These articles have been created for specific countries. If you are searching in other countries, you will need to know the Google 2 letter codes.
