Viewing Parish Records in your own home

With the use of personal computers becoming more widespread, the best way to make the parish records easily accessible to the general public is to transfer those records from micro-fiche and film to CD-ROM.

ParishRecord.co.uk searches for Parish Records on CD, giving you a results list and enabling you to view results by county. The CDs found contain images of the original Parish Records.

Parish Record images can be viewed using the Adobe Acrobat browser provided with the CDs. They are bookmarked by area, enabling the user to locate their particular area of interest and the sub-district or piece number which covers that area. Once images are displayed on your screen, you can zoom in and out, move the image around, and even rotate the image 90 degrees, something that can be useful when printing.
