If you are looking for baptism's on Ancestry you need to click on See all databases on the home page, then click on the letter B, then enter baptisms in the database title box and all the records are there, the baptism's on ancestry are mostlyGerman and USA not much good for the UK but there are some UK records Roy

There are a minimal number of baptisms on Ancestry.............LDS site has far more. Reg
