I wondered what people thought about subscribing to the Geneologist website, to search parish records.

I have had no luck on all the free sites to find any of my family, as they lived in Birmingham, and no-one seems to have transcribed Birmingham as a whole.

I wondered if it was worth the money, or it would be better to have patience & wait until I can go to Birmingham Central Library and try to find the information there.

Thanks Angi x

hi, i find that if you write to birmingham central library, tell them that you are researching a ancester, give names and dates, ask about costs, to do a search, in the past i have found this, to be ver y usefull, because they tell me if my ancesters, are in that area, and have put me in touch, with the correct record office
