I have Warwickshire Parish records on microfiche and have got a bit confused with some of the columns. here is an example. Event Name Father/Mother Date Aaron Daniel/Elizabeth M C 31Dec1789 Town/ Parish Birmingham Saint Phillips All that bit I understand then there are 3 columns I don't they are B E S 11Jan1975LA 13Mar1975LA 2Apr1975LA Does anyone know what these 3 columns are? after this there is the source Batch Film and Serial Sheet. I must warn people who try to help I may not get back to you straight away as I am carer to my husband who has just come out of hospital but I will answer you. Christine
