What is the best way to go about searching before 1837. I am trying to find ancesters in the 1700 and 1600 even the 1500. Any help would be appreciated. Regards Francoise |

Have you checked the IGI on Familysearch? Just a hint, don't rely on submitted records, only extracted ones. Ask for a look-up on BVRI. Check your local LDS Family History Centre where they can order parish records on microfilm for you to look at. Good luck, Margaret |

Hi Francoise, if you post a thread on here asking for a BVRI look-up, try to give some details as to what you require, ie names, county, birth/death/marriage details, timescale etc. I am sure someone will be able to assist you. |
