Parish Records Online

Transcribing and Indexing Parish Records

Transcribing parish records is a huge task, and many companies are now beginning the transcribing and indexing of Parish Records, and then including them onto their websites for people to view. One company, S&N Genealogy Supplies, have already started working on transcribing Parish Records, and these are available at TheGenealogist. There are over 7 million records available to search, and this number is continuing to grow. You can also view the original images to check the transcription for yourself.

Viewing the Records

Viewing Parish Records online is easy. Websites like TheGenealogist have these records available for you to view from as little as £5. They are searchable by surname, forename, date, and the church/parish. With the aid of both volunteers and overseas transcribers, more records are continuing to be added.

The marriage records will include details of the Groom and the Bride, along with the father of the Groom and of the Bride (where given). It will also list the witnesses of the marriage, the date, and, of course, the Parish where the ceremony was performed. Burial and baptism records are also being added.

If you are unsure about viewing them online, they are also available on CD at a low price.
