Wills, manorial records, inquisitons post mortem, lay subsidy records, land deeds, court records can all help provide information about families pre 1600. Many of these records are in latin: they are held mainly in county record offices but also in the National Archives. Record societies have often translated the more interesting documents. Parish registers pre 1600, where they survive, should be treated with a degree of scepticism as they are usually transcripts of the original records, which would have been on loose pieces of paper.
