Parish Registers on CD - Parish Registers Online - Availability Parish RegistersFinding the Records on CD-ROMWith more and more people interested in researching their family history using their computer, there is demand for old records to be made available for viewing on CDs. Most of the old Parish Records are on either microfiche and microfilm, or in a book. Specialist companies like S&N Genealogy Supplies have made Parish Records available on CD by scanning in each microfiche, microfilm, and book and making them available to purchase through secure websites. There are also websites such as GENFair which sell products from hundreds of suppliers.
Viewing the Records OnlineTranscribing 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. There is a large collection available at TheGenealogist, who have millions of records available to search, and are continuing to add more. Viewing Parish Records online is easy - online services such as TheGenealogist have these records available. They are searchable by surname, forename, date, and the church/parish (to see an example search, click here). With the aid of both volunteers and overseas transcribers, more records are continuing to be added.
