hiya, it depends what sort of info you require, for Births marriages and death records, 1837-2004, your best bet is Ancestry*co*uk, you can search all index for FREE. http://www*ancestry*co*uk/search/rectype/vital/freebmd/bmd*aspx replace * with dots if it is before registration begins, then you need a site like 'Hugh wallis' just google him, gives alot of parish records that you can search by county and parish Hope this helps Julie

There is a 'getting started' section on your GR home page.......worth a read. Below that is a 'genealogy resources' section.............ditto. Happy searching Reg
