Sri Lankan certificate: which one to request
The Sri Lankan choice has one rule: the PAIR — certificate + the department's own official English translation. The thombos and colonial holdings serve the roots; the transliterated spellings ask for the usual note.
The formats
- The division's certificate — in the registration's language.
- The official translation into English — the piece that makes the corridor viable.
- The colonial holdings (thombos, British records) — the roots.
The typical package
The pair + series + sworn English translation. The record number noted down; the batch through the same rite.
Frequently asked questions
Long Sinhalese names?+
The 'ge' name (the house name that precedes) confuses Western forms — the note explains the structure to the Brazilian chain.
Burgher (Dutch) roots?+
Thombos + Reformed Church records + the British civil registry — the Burgher line is documented across the three eras. A rich niche of the island.
