Common Challenges

Limited Records

Many rural Punjab records were lost or never systematically maintained. Focus on oral histories and living memory.

Partition Impact

1947 Partition disrupted families and destroyed records. Look for both Pakistan and India resources.

Name Variations

Waraich may be spelled as Warraich, Waraych, or other variations in different records.
