Member Since: August 2006 Posts: 17 Send Message	Is it possible to look up parish records on the net? I want to look at babtism records which I have been told are kept in Shrewsbury but I am unable to go there at the moment.

	This is the Mormons' site that has many parish records - some are more reliable than others but the site is very useful anyway - http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp. Also, there is the free parish register site which is being uploaded by volunteers. http://freereg.rootsweb.com/index.htm Also, try googling (searching on the internet) for parish registers just in case they have been put on line. Happy hunting :-)
