Hi Angie You can buy the NBI online at www(.)genfair(.)com. It does only cover England and Wales. I can't see an address on the BVRI but will keep looking. Maureen

Angie The NBI does only cover England and Wales but not only that it is a poor coverage, and the Second Edition is not any better than the first, in that if the coverage for a county was already there in the first edition then you will not necessarily find any more of that same county in the second edition, but the second edition has added more counties. I have found it very useful because the coverage for Northants is quite good. Remember there are only 13 million Burial Records on the NBI second edition and 5 million on the NBI first edition from the 1600's to the 1900's so you may be disappointed. Try to see the coverage of counties first before purchasing and this you can do through the Federation of Family History Societies, which you can google. I have bought both NBI and BIVR through the above addresses. Janet
